I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live up to the light I have. I must stand with anybody that stands right - stand with him while he is right and part with him when he goes wrong.

For this alone have I felt authorized to struggle and I seek neither more nor less now.
Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
Image
