Washington's is the mightiest name on Earth, long since mightiest in the cause of civil liberty, still mightiest in moral reformation. On that name no eulogy is expected. It cannot be.

Then I dare say I must be one, for Stanton is generally right and he always says what he means  (Abraham Lincoln Quotes) We hope all danger may be overcome; but to conclude that no danger may ever arise would itself be extremely dangerous  (Abraham Lincoln Quotes) The negative principle that no law is free law, is not much known except among lawyers  (Abraham Lincoln Quotes) An inspection of the Constitution will show that the right of property in a slave is not distinctly and expressly affirmed in it  (Abraham Lincoln Quotes) If slavery is right, all words, acts, laws, and constitutions against it, are themselves wrong, and should be silenced, and swept away  (Abraham Lincoln Quotes) Neither let us be slandered from our duty by false accusations against us, nor frightened from it by menaces of destruction to the Government nor of dungeons to ourselves. 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  (Abraham Lincoln Quotes) Why should there not be a patient confidence in the ultimate justice of the people?

A husband and wife may be divorced, and go out of the presence, and beyond the reach of each other; but the different parts of our country cannot do this. They cannot but remain face to face; and intercourse, either amicable or hostile, must continue between them  (Abraham Lincoln Quotes) On the first day of January in the year of our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and sixty three, 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  (Abraham Lincoln Quotes) I am naturally anti slavery.
