As our case is new, so we must think anew, and act anew.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Neither let us be slandered from our duty by false accusations against us, nor frightened from it by menaces of destruction ... nor of dungeons to ourselves. Let us have faith that right makes might, and in that faith, let us, to the end, dare to do our duty as we understand it.

Image
In regards to this great Book [the Bible], I have but to say it is the best gift God has given to man. All the good the Savior gave to the world was communicated through this Book. But for it we could not know right from wrong. All things most desirable for man's welfare, here and hereafter, are found portrayed in it.
Abraham Lincoln

Believing everybody is dangerous, but believing nobody is more dangerous.

My paramount objective in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not to either save or destroy Slavery.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
The slave-breeders and slave-traders, are a small, odious and detested class, among you and yet in politics, they dictate the course of all of you, and are as completely your masters, as you are the master of your own negroes.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
If ever I feel the soul within me elevate and expand to those dimensions, not wholly unworthy of its almighty Architect, it is when I contemplate the cause of my country, deserted by all the world beside, and I standing up boldly, alone, hurling defiance at her victorious oppressors.
