I don't s'pose anybody on earth likes gingerbread better'n I do-and gets less'n I do.
Abraham LincolnI sincerely wish war was a pleasanter and easier business than it is, but it does not admit of holidays.
Abraham LincolnThe dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise to the occasion. We cannot escape history. We will be remembered in spite of ourselves. The fiery trial through which we pass will light us down in honour or dishonour, to the last generation. We shall nobly save, or meanly lose, our last best hope of Earth.
Abraham Lincoln
