In giving freedom to the slave, we assure freedom to the free – honorable alike in what we give and what we preserve. We shall nobly save, or meanly lose, the last best hope of earth. – Abraham Lincoln
With the fearful strain that is on me night and day, if I did not laugh I should die. – Abraham Lincoln
Those who deny freedom to others, deserve it not for themselves; and, under a just God, can not long retain it. – Abraham Lincoln
Let not him who is houseless pull down the house of another, but let him work diligently and build one for himself, thus by example assuring that his own shall be safe from violence when built. – Abraham Lincoln
