We trust, sir, that God is on our side. It is more important to know that we are on God's side.
Abraham Lincoln
The Government should create, issue, and circulate all the currency and credits needed to satisfy the spending power of the Government and the buying power of consumers.

Abraham Lincoln
Everybody likes compliment.
Abraham Lincoln
