Apple CEO Tim Cook, on many occasions, has recalled the words of Abraham Lincoln. Be it after visiting Peterson House where Lincoln took his last breath or quoting his lines at commencement speeches. This time, he chose to recall the 16th President’s words of wisdom on adversity for President’s Day.


“The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise with the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew and act anew.”— Abraham Lincoln 1862 — but timeless,” Cook tweeted.


This tweet, however , made several Apple loyalists wonder if times are indeed that bad.
