"War, at the best, is terrible, and..." - Quote by Abraham Lincoln

“It is rather for us here dedicated to the great task remaining before us, that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion.”

“I think I stand where that man stands.”

“I do not wish to be misunderstood upon this subject of slavery in this country. I suppose it may long exist, and perhaps the best way for it to come to an end peaceably is for it to exist for a length of time. But I say that the spread and strengthening and perpetuation of it is an entirely different proposition. There we should in every way resist it as a wrong, treating it as a wrong, with the fixed idea that it must and will come to an end.”

“Sensibility of mind is indeed the parent of every virtue, but it is the parent of much misery, too.”

“How incessant and great are the ills with which a prolonged old age is replete.”

“If we weep for all the deaths in our country, the tears in our eyes would never dry.”
