If I care to listen to every criticism, let alone act on them, then this shop may as well be closed for all other businesses.

Abraham Lincoln
Image
The money power preys on the nation in times of peace, and conspires against it in times of adversity. It is more despotic than monarchy, more insolent than autocracy, more selfish than bureaucracy. It denounces, as public enemies, all who question its methods or throw light upon its crimes.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Money possesses no value to the state other than that given to it by circulation.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I never tire of reading Tom Paine.
Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
Image
Singular indeed the people should be writhing under oppression and injury, and yet not one among them to be found, to raise the voice of complaint.
