Abraham Lincoln: “Sherman went in at Atlanta and came out right.”

Let us have faith that right makes might, and in that faith, let us, to the end, dare to do our duty as we understand it.

If the end brings me out all right, what is said against me won't amount to anything.

If I were to try to read, much less answer, all the attacks made on me, this shop might as well be closed for any other business.

I have always thought that all men should be free; but if any should be slaves, it should be first those who desire it for themselves, and secondly those who desire it for others.
