I am not a very sentimental man and the best sentiment I can think of is, that if you collect the signatures of all persons who are no less distinguished than I, you will have a very undistinguishing mass of names.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
So viewing the issue, no choice was left but to call out the war power of the Government and so to resist force, employed for its destruction, by force, for its preservation.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
There is an important sense in which government is distinctive from administration. One is perpetual, the other is temporary and changeable. A man may be loyal to his government and yet oppose the particular principles and methods of administration.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
If both factions, or neither, shall abuse you, you will probably be about right. Beware of being assailed by one and praised by the other.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Woe unto the world because of offenses for it must needs be that offenses come, but woe to that man by whom the offense cometh.
