Abraham Lincoln
.....A house divided against itself cannot stand......
......With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the
right, as God gives us to see the right let us strive on to finish the work
we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who shall have
borne the battle, and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may
achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves, and with all
nations.......
......Fondly do we hope, fervently do we pray, that this mighty scourge of
war may speedily pass away. Yet, if God wills that it continue until all the
wealth piled by the bondsman's 250 years of unrequited toil shall be sunk,
and until every drop of blood drawn by the lash shall be paid by another
drawn by the sword, as was said 3000 years ago, so still it must be said,
'the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether'........
------ Abraham Lincoln, former US President.
