Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
If all men were just, there still would be some, though not so much, need of government.
Abraham Lincoln
All the armies of Europe, Asia and Africa combined, with all the treasure of the earth (our own excepted) in their military chest with a Buonaparte for a commander, could not by force, take a drink from the Ohio, or make a track on the Blue Ridge, in a trial of a thousand years.
Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
