Abraham Lincoln
I want in all cases to do right.
Abraham Lincoln
I have not permitted myself, gentlemen, to conclude that I am the best man in the country but I am reminded, in this connection, of a story of an old Dutch farmer, who remarked to a companion once that it was not best to swap horses when crossing streams.
Abraham Lincoln
I will learn, the opportunity will come.
Abraham Lincoln
