"A tendancy to melancholy...let it be observed,..." - Quote by Abraham Lincoln

“I believe each individual is naturally entitled to do as he pleases with himself and the fruit of his labor, so far as it in no wise interferes with any other mans rightsthat each community, as a State, has a right to do exactly as it pleases with all the concerns within that State that interfere with the right of no other State, and that the general government, upon principle, has no right to interfere with anything other than that general class of things that does concern the whole.”

“I appeal to all loyal citizens to favor, facilitate and aid this effort to maintain the honor, the integrity, and the existence of our National Union, and the perpetuity of populargovernment; and to redress wrongs already long enough endured.”

“Peace does not appear so distant as it did. I hope it will come soon, and come to stay; and so come as to be worth the keeping in all future time.”

“Love, after all, always said more about those who felt it than it did about the ones they loved.”

“Love is of all passions the strongest, for it attacks simultaneously the head, the heart and the senses.”

“I don't believe in waiting for great feelings. I need to wire myself for positivity and gratitude. I need to build a highway to those.”

“The clever reader who is capable or reading between these lines what does not stand written in them but is nevertheless implied will be able to form some conception.”

“The right understanding of any matter and a misunderstanding of the same matter do not wholly exclude each other.”

“Self-knowledge comes from knowing other men.”
