“Don't interfere with anything in the Constitution. That must be maintained, for it is the only safeguard of our liberties.”

“With malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in; to bind up the nation's wounds; to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and his orphan - to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace, among ourselves, and with all nations.”

“It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt.”

“I claim not to have controlled events, but confess plainly that events have controlled me.”

“Whenever I hear anyone arguing over slavery, I feel a strong impulse to see it tried on him personally.”

“Our defense is in the preservation of the spirit which prizes liberty as the heritage of all men, in all lands, every where. Destroy this spirit, and you have planted the seeds of despotism around your own doors.”

“Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed, is more important than any other one thing.”
