"Force is all conquering, but it's victories..." - Quote by Abraham Lincoln

“I believe I shall never be old enough to speak without embarrassment when I have nothing to talk about.”

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

“When you have got a ticket to send, and you're not a top costumer, it's best not to waste your time.”

“Do not mistake the rule of force for true power. Men are not shaped by force.”

“If the opposition disarms, well and good. If it refuses to disarm, we shall disarm it ourselves.”

“We have no compassion and we ask no compassion from you. When our turn comes, we shall not make excuses for the terror.”

“Power takes as ingratitude the writhing of its victims”

“We dress our garden, eat our dinners, discuss the household with our wives, and these things make no impression, are forgotten next week; but in the solitude to which every man is always returning, he has a sanity and revelations, which in his passage into new worlds he will carry with him. Never mind the ridicule, never mind the defeat: up again, old heart! — it seems to say, — there is victory yet for all justice; and the true romance which the world exists to realize, will be the transformation of genius into practical power.”

“Accumulation of power is as necessary as its diffusion, or rather more so.”
