It went like this his mother was very ill when abe was only 9 years old, she knew she was not going to make it. So she made her son take a vow never to smoke tobacco or drink whiskey in his life. As years went by Lincoln kept his promise so he refused the colonels offer. The colonel admired Lincoln for this wishing he could do the same. Lincoln responded with " its a matter of integrity."

" when I do good, I feel good 

when I do bad, I feel bad"

Abraham Lincoln 

The way you feel, is a response to the way you act,that is whether you act good or bad. For example if I were to go and rob a store I would feel bad because I did the bad thing. If I were to open the door for someone I would feel good because I did the right thing I would feel good about myself. It makes you feel like your a good person.
