But in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground.

The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here.

I am not in favor of making voters or jurors of Negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
There is really no crisis except an artificial one...If the great American people will only keep their temper, on both sides of the line, the trouble will come to an end.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
The world has never had a good definition of the word liberty, and the American people, just now, are much in want of one. We all declare for liberty but in using the same word we do not all mean the same thing.
