More from Abraham Lincoln
I am considering, and shall not fail to act when satisfied that action will be proper.
Whenever I hear any one arguing for slavery, I feel a strong impulse to see it tried on him personally.

If the end brings me out wrong, ten angels swearing I was right would make no difference.
