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
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
Democracy is government of, by and for the people.
Abraham Lincoln
Bad promises are better broken than kept.

Will springs from the two elements of moral sense and self-interest.
Abraham Lincoln
I believe, if we take habitual drunkards as a class, their heads and their hearts will bear an advantageous comparison with those of any other class. There seems ever to have been a proneness in the brilliant and warm-blooded to fall into this vice.
Abraham Lincoln
