"The power confided in me will be..." - Quote by Abraham Lincoln

“There is no grievance that is a fit object of redress by mob law.”

“I would like to speak in terms of praise due to the many brave officers and soldiers who have fought in the cause of the war.”

“Most folks are as happy as they make up their minds to be.”

“It has always been a mystery to me how men can feel themselves honoured by the humiliation of their fellow beings.”

“The contest of strength is not only a contest of military and economic power, but also a contest of human power and morale. Military and economic power is necessarily wielded by people.”

“There is simply no comparison between a man who is armed and one who is not. It is simply unreasonable to expect that an armed man should obey one who is unarmed, or that an unarmed man should remain safe and secure when his servants are armed.”

“I am a most unhappy man. I accidentally ruined my country. A great industrial nation is now controlled by its system of credit. Our government is no longer based on the freedom of opinion, nor on the conviction and the majority decision, it is now a government which is subjected to the conviction and the compulsion of a small group of dominant men.”

“In so far as the government lands can be disposed of, I am in favor of cutting up the wild lands into parcels so that every poor man may have a home.”

“The King's cheese is half wasted in parings: But no matter, 'tis made of the people's milk.”
