Abraham Lincoln
If there is no military need for the building, leave it alone, neither putting anyone in or out of it, except on finding some one preaching or practicing treason, in which case lay hands on him, just as if he were doing the same thing in any other building.
Abraham Lincoln
Hypocrite: The man who murdered his parents, and then pleaded for mercy on the grounds that he was an orphan.
Abraham Lincoln
Few can be induced to labor exclusively for posterity and none will do it enthusiastically. Posterity has done nothing for us and theorize on it as we may, practically we shall do very little for it, unless we are made to think we are at the same time doing something for ourselves.
Abraham Lincoln
As our case is new, so we must think anew, and act anew.
Abraham Lincoln
