Calling a tail a leg does not make it a leg.

Why don't I drink from a straw? Because straws are for suckers.

But let the past as nothing be. For the future my view is that the fight must go on.

Next to creating a life the finest thing a man can do is save one.

I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true.

If they do kill me, I shall never die another death.

Let us re-adopt the Declaration of Independence, and with it, the practices, and policy, which harmonize with it. Let north and south - let all Americans - let all lovers of liberty everywhere - join in the great and good work. If we do this, we shall not only have saved the Union; but we shall have so saved it, as to make, and to keep it, forever worthy of the saving. We shall have so saved it, that the succeeding millions of free happy people, the world over, shall rise up, and call us blessed, to the latest generations.
