"God, the best maker of all marriages,..." - Quote by William Shakespeare

“"Lawyers Are": Perilous mouths.”

“Such thanks as fits a king's remembrance.”

“Love is a smoke made with the fume of sighs.”

“Marriage? I ain't got time for a husband or child. All my life I've looked after myself as if I was my own child.”

“Marriage is the dark side of the honeymoon”

“They say marriages are made in Heaven. But so is thunder and lightning.”

“Again I admonish you not to be turned from your stern purpose of defending your beloved country and its free institutions by any arguments urged by ambitious and designing men, but stand fast to the Union and the old flag.”

“[If not re-elected in 1864] then it will be my duty to so co-operate with the President elect, as to save the Union between the election and the inauguration; as he will have secured his election on such ground that he can not possibly save it afterwards.”

“I believe this Government cannot endure, permanently half slave and half free.”
