"Every man is born an original, but..." - Quote by Abraham Lincoln

“What I want is to get done what the people desire to have done, and the question for me is how to find that out exactly.”

“I have two great enemies, the Southern Army in front of me and the bankers in the rear. Of the two, the one at my rear is my greatest foe.”

“Shall we stop this bleeding?”

“Be in harmony, yet be different.”

“It is easier to know men in general, than men in particular.”

“The world is full of people who have stopped listening to themselves or have listened only to their neighbors to learn what they ought to do, how they ought to behave, and what the values are they should be living for.”

“In this great society wide lying around us, a critical analysis would find very few spontaneous actions. It is almost all custom and gross sense.”

“Without meaning, without substance, without aim: a mere 'public opinion'.”

“Everyone can see that the people who hunt are the right people and the people who don't are the wrong ones.”
