I dared not trust the case on the presumption that the court knows everything. In fact, I argued it on the presumption that the court didn't know anything.

If I care to listen to every criticism, let alone act on them, then this shop may as well be closed for all other businesses. I have learned to do my best, and if the end result is good then I do not care for any criticism, but if the end result is not good, then even the praise of ten angels would not make the difference.

There are no accidents in my philosophy. Every effect must have its cause. The past is the cause of the present, and the present will be the cause of the future. All these are links in the endless chain stretching from the finite to the infinite.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
In any future great national trial, compared with the men of this, we shall have as weak, and as strong as silly and as wise asbad and good.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master. This expresses my idea of democracy.
Abraham Lincoln
