"Life is hard but so very beautiful..." - Quote by Abraham Lincoln

“If 600,000 people have to die in order for the nation to live, then 600,000 people will die.”

“I have always been an old-line Henry Clay Whig.”

“A house divided against itself cannot stand.”

“You never answered my question, about what you want to do with your life. Maybe my dreams aren't that complicated. Maybe I think that a job is just a job. What does that mean? Maybe I don't want to be defined by what I do. Maybe I'd like to be defined by what I am.”

“Do you love life? Then don't waste time, because time is life!”

“Reverence for life is the highest court of appeal.”

“Without the great arts which speak to the sense of beauty, a man seems to me a poor, naked, shivering creature. These are his becoming draperies, which warm and adorn him.”

“Now and then the fantastic shadows of birds in flight flitted across the long tussore-silk curtains that were stretched in front of the huge window, producing a kind of momentary Japanese effect, and making him think of those pallid, jade-faced painters of Tokyo who, through the medium of an art that is necessarily immobile, seek to convey the sense of swiftness and motion.”

“Ay; beauty's princely majesty is such,Confounds the tongue and makes the senses rough.”
