Abraham Lincoln
I do but quote from one of those speeches when I declare that I have no purpose, directly or indirectly, to interfere with the institution of slavery in the States where it exists. I believe I have no lawful right to do so, and I have no inclination to do so.
Abraham Lincoln
The best way to get a bad law repealed is to enforce it strictly.
Abraham Lincoln
Things may come to those who wait, but only the things left by those who hustle.
