Abraham Lincoln
If I were to try to read, much less answer, all the attacks made on me, this shop might as well be closed for any other business.
Abraham Lincoln
It often requires more courage to dare to do right than to fear to do wrong.
Abraham Lincoln
And upon this act [Emancipation Proclamation]...I invoke...the gracious favor of Almighty God.
Abraham Lincoln
Others have been made fools of by the girls but, this can never be with truth said of me. I most emphatically, in this instance,made a fool of myself.
Abraham Lincoln
