"'A living dog is better than a..." - Quote by Abraham Lincoln

“A Prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles upon which our government was founded.”

“The Father of Waters again goes unvexed to the sea.”

“I never had a policy; I have just tried to do my very best each and every day.”

“A majority held in restraint by constitutional checks and limitations, and always changing easily with deliberate changes of popular opinions and sentiments, is the only true sovereign of a free people. Whoever rejects it does of necessity fly to anarchy or to despotism. Unanimity is impossible. The rule of a minority, as a permanent arrangement, is wholly inadmissible; so that, rejecting the majority principle, anarchy or despotism in some form is all that is left.”

“That's part of our policy, is not to be taken seriously because I think our opposition, whoever they may be in all their manifest forms, don't know how to handle humour.”

“I've enjoyed the conversations that we've had. [Donald Trump] is somebody who I think is not lacking in confidence.”

“For in reason, all government without the consent of the governed is the very definition of slavery.”

“Who enslaves another's manhood with weak human power alone, Lays a heavier yoke of bondage thoughtlessly upon his own.”

“I repeat the declaration made a year ago, that 'while I remain in my present position I shall not attempt to retract or modify the emancipation proclamation, nor shall I return to slavery any person who is free by the terms of that proclamation, or by any of the Acts of Congress.' If the people should, by whatever mode or means, make it an Executive duty to re-enslave such persons, another, and not I, must be their instrument to perform it.”
