Whatever уоu are, bе а good one.
successful should-have government
That our government should have been maintained in its original form from its establishment until now, is not much to be wondered at. It had many props to support it through that period, which now are decayed, and crumbled away. Through that period, it was felt by all, to be an undecided experiment; now, it is understood to be a successful one.
believe fall government
A house divided against itself cannot stand." I believe this government cannot endure, permanently half slave and half free. I do not expect the Union to be dissolved — I do not expect the house to fall — but I do expect it will cease to be divided. It will become all one thing or all the other.
horse minutes hard
I can make a General in five minutes but a good horse is hard to replace.

I could not have slept tonight if I had left that helpless little creature to perish on the ground.
law facts court
I dared not trust the case on the presumption that the court knows everything. In fact, I argued it on the presumption that the court didn't know anything.

If once you forfeit the confidence of your fellow-citizens, you can never regain their respect and esteem.
diversity people uniting
The strongest bond of human sympathy outside the family relation should be one uniting working people of all nations and tongues and kindreds.
military giving victory
Beware of rashness, but with energy and sleepless vigilance go forward and give us victories.
hard-work standards labor
Labor is the true standard of value.
men hands class
I hold that if the Almighty had ever made a set of men that should do all the eating and none of the work, he would have made them with mouths only and no hands, and if he had ever made another class that he intended should do all the work and none of the eating, he would have made them without mouths and with all hands.
work independent labor-day
Labor is prior to, and independent of, capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration.
army two southern
I have two great enemies, the Southern Army in front of me and the bankers in the rear. Of the two, the one at my rear is my greatest foe.
country believe men
Young man, if God gives me four years more to rule this country, I believe it will become what it ought to be-what its Divine Author intended it to be-no longer one vast plantation for breeding human beings for the purpose of lust and bondage. But it will become a new Valley of Jehoshaphat, where all the nations of the earth will assemble together under one flag, worshipping a common God, and they will celebrate the resurrection of human freedom.
