Abraham Lincoln

Well, I suppose you know that men will stand a good deal when they are flattered.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
The land, the earth God gave to man for his home ... should never be the possession of any man, corporation, (or) society ... any more than the air or water.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Let the people know the truth and the country is safe.
Abraham Lincoln
