I have never studied the art of paying compliments to women but I must say that if all that has been said by orators and poets since the creation of the world in praise of women were applied to the women of America, it would not do them justice for their conduct during this war.
Abraham Lincoln
Nothing new here, except my marrying, which to me is a matter of profound wonder.

If elected I shall be thankful if not, it will be all the same.
Abraham Lincoln
If you have never failed you have never lived.
