Abraham Lincoln actually said...

"all persons held as slaves within any State or designated part of a State the people whereof shall then be in rebellion against the United States shall be then, thenceforward, and forever free;"

"And I hereby enjoin upon the people so declared to be free to abstain from all violence, unless in necessary self-defense;"

"To the Senate and House of Representatives: I transmit, for the consideration of Congress, a report from the Secretary of State on the subject of consular pupils."

"In this sad world of ours, sorrow comes to all, and it often comes with bitter agony. Perfect relief is not possible, except with time. You cannot now realize that you will ever feel better."
