"Allow me to assure you, that suspicion..." - Quote by Abraham Lincoln

“In my view of the present aspect of affairs, there is no need of bloodshed and war. There is no necessity for it. I am not in favor of such a course, and I may say in advance, there will be no blood shed unless it be forced upon the government. The government will not use force unless force is used against it.”

“Let no feeling of discouragement prey upon you, and in the end you are sure to succeed.”

“The occasion is piled high with difficulty. We must rise to the occasion.”

“A truth is to be known always, to be uttered sometimes.”

“One should never impose one's views on a problem; one should rather study it, and in time a solution will reveal itself.”

“Read not the Times, read the Eternities.”

“It is not love that should be depicted as blind, but self-love.”

“Colors, like features, follow the changes of the emotions.”

“The loss of young first love is so painful that it borders on the ludicrous.”
