I can make brigadier generals, but i can't make horses.

I can see how it might be possible for a man to look down upon the earth and be an atheist, but I cannot conceive how a man could look up into the heavens and say there is no God.

The human mind is impelled to action, or held in rest by some power, over which the mind itself has no control.

With malice towards none; with charity for all.

It is not 'Is God on my side', but 'Am I on God's side'.

With Malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds.

Money powers prey upon the nation in times of peace & conspire against it in times of adversity.
