Abraham Lincoln
Image
[If not re-elected in 1864] then it will be my duty to so co-operate with the President elect, as to save the Union between the election and the inauguration as he will have secured his election on such ground that he can not possibly save it afterwards.
Abraham Lincoln

I can make brigadier generals, but i can't make horses.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Marriage is neither heaven nor hell, it is simply purgatory.
Abraham Lincoln
