Abraham Lincoln
I destroy my enemy if I make him my friend.
Abraham Lincoln
When the hour comes for dealing with slavery, I trust I will be willing to do my duty though it cost my life.
Abraham Lincoln
Every one desires to live long, but no one would be old.
Abraham Lincoln
Were it not for my little jokes, I could not bear the burdens of this office.

Abraham Lincoln
