"I wish all men to be free...." - Quote by Abraham Lincoln

“In law it is good policy to never plead what you need not, lest you oblige yourself to prove what you can not.”

“We have, as all will agree, a free Government, where every man has a right to be equal with every other man. In this great struggle, this form of Government and every form of human right is endangered if our enemies succeed.”

“If you love something, set it free.”

“Freedom of the press is a precious privilege that no country can forego.”

“This life is a tremendous assertion of freedom”

“Prosperity without freedom is just another form of poverty.”

“A slave has not the freedom even to do the right thing.”

“It is to them I look, to the rising generation, and not to the one now in power, for these great reformations i.e., emancipation of slaves and settlement of the Virginia constitution on a firmer and more permanent basis.”

“When Judge Douglas says that whoever, or whatever community, wants slaves, they have a right to have them, he is perfectly logical if there is nothing wrong in the institution; but if you admit that it is wrong, he cannot logically say that anybody has a right to do wrong.”
