Abraham Lincoln

A tendancy to melancholy...let it be observed, is a misfortune, not a fault.
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.

As the chief speaker at the dedication of the national cemetery at the Gettysburg Battlefield, statesman Edward Everett wrote to Lincoln: I should be glad if I could flatter myself that I came as near to the central idea of the occasion in two hours as you did in two minutes.
