I had been told I was on the road to hell, but I had no idea it was just a mile down the road with a dome on it.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
The Union, and the Constitution, are the picture of silver, subsequently framed around it. The picture was not made to conceal or destroy the apple, but to adorn and preserve it. The picture was made for the apple-not the apple for the picture.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
We have all heard of Young America. He is the most current youth of the age. Some think him conceited, and arrogant but has he not reason to entertain a rather extensive opinion of himself? Is he not the inventor and owner of the present, and sole hope of the future?
Abraham Lincoln
Image
This is essentially a people's contest... whose leading object is to elevate the condition of men - to lift artificial weights from all shoulders - to clear the paths of laudable pursuit for all - to afford all, an unfettered start and a fair chance, in the race of life.
Abraham Lincoln
