"What constitutes the bulwark of our own..." - Quote by Abraham Lincoln

“I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true.”

“I hold the value of life is to improve one's condition. Whatever is calculated to advance the condition of the honest, struggling laboring man, so far as my judgment will enable me to judge of a correct thing, I am for that thing.”

“The power confided in me will be used to hold, occupy and possess the property and places belonging to the government, and to collect the duties and imposts.”

“Let's all cry peace, freedom, and liberty!”

“To freemen, threats are impotent.”

“Coersion, after all, merely captures man. Freedom captivates him.”

“You wouldn't worry so much about what others think of you if you realized how seldom they do.”

“Great men have all been formed either before academies or independent of them.”

“A true artist takes no notice whatever of the public. The public to him are non-existent.”
