Abraham Lincoln
My wife is as handsome as when she was a girl, and I...fell in love with her and what is more, I have never fallen out.
Abraham Lincoln
That our government should have been maintained in its original form from its establishment until now, is not much to be wondered at. It had many props to support it through that period, which now are decayed, and crumbled away.

Abraham Lincoln
I fear explanations explanatory of things explained.
Abraham Lincoln
By all means, don't say, if I can, say I will.
Abraham Lincoln
But the proclamation, as law, either is valid, or is not valid. If it is not valid, it needs no retraction. If it is valid, it can not be retracted, any more than the dead can be brought to life.
Abraham Lincoln
If both factions, or neither, shall abuse you, you will probably be about right. Beware of being assailed by one and praised by the other.
Abraham Lincoln
