"Every man is said to have his..." - Quote by Abraham Lincoln

“Now, and ever, I shall do all in my power for peace, consistently with the maintenance of government.”

“The master not only governs the slave without his consent, but he governs him by a set of rules altogether different from those which he prescribes for himself. Allow ALL the governed anequal voice in the government, and that, and that only, is self-government.”

“We should avoid planting and cultivating too many thorns in the bosom of society.”

“If you must break the law, do it to seize power: in all other cases observe it.”

“Obscurity and a competence—that is the life that is best worth living.”

“An empty throne always tempts me.”

“Our merit gains us the esteem of the virtuous-our star that of the public.”

“Everybody is worth everything.”

“Love, Fear, and Esteem, - Write these on three stones.”
