In any future great national trial, compared with the men of this, we shall have as weak, and as strong as silly and as wise asbad and good.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
So plain that no one, high or low, ever does mistake it, except in a plainly selfish way for although volume upon volume is written to prove slavery a very good thing, we never hear of the man who wishes to take the good of it, by being a slave himself.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
We can succeed only by concert. It is not 'can any of us imagine better?, but 'can we all do better?
Abraham Lincoln
Image
My Dear McClellan, if you don't want to use the army I should like to borrow it for a while. Yours respectfully.
