Abe Lincoln Quoted Whole Psalms as a Boy

"And it was from his mother's lips that little Abe first heard the sublime Bible stories and verses. And, with her encouragement, he began to commit to memory short Bible verses, and to become familiar with the simpler aspects of the moral code laid down in the Bible. Later he could repeat from memory whole Psalms and other chapters." from Abraham Lincoln: The Man & His Faith by G. Frederick Owen
