The damnest scoundrel that ever lived, but in the infinite mercy of Providence... also the damnest fool.
Abraham Lincoln
If I am killed, I can die by once but to live in constant dread of it, is to die over and over again.
Abraham Lincoln
If ever this free people, if this Government itself is ever utterly demoralized, it will come from this incessant human wriggle and struggle for office, which is but a way to live without work.
Abraham Lincoln
Such will be a great lesson of peace: teaching men that what they cannot take by an election, neither can they take it by war.
Abraham Lincoln
Don't pray that God's on our side, pray that we're on his side.
