Do I not destroy my enemies when I make them my friends? - Abraham Lincoln

"It is difficult to make a man miserable while he feels worthy of himself and claims kindred to the great God who made him."

"In giving freedom to the slave, we assure freedom to the free - honorable alike in that we give and what we preserve. We shall nobly save, or meanly lose, the last best hope of earth."

"My dream is of a place and a time where America will once again be seen as the last best hope of earth."

"Get books, sit yourself down anywhere, and go to reading them yourself."

"Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other."
