Nothing Should Be Left To

I Consider Even A Victorious War As An Evil, From Which Statesmanship Must Endeavor To Spare Nations.

He Obtained From Congress The Right To Borrow From The People By Selling To It The 'bonds' Of States ... And The Government And The Nation Escaped The Plots Of The Foreign Financiers. They Understood At Once, That The United States Would Escape Their Grip. The Death Of Lincoln Was Resolved Upon.

There Are Two Things Civilized Man Should Never See Being Made: Sausages And Laws.

I Have Never Lived On Principles. When I Have Had To Act, I Never First Asked Myself On What Principles I Was Going To Act, But I Went At It And Did What I Thought Fit. I Have Often Reproached Myself For My Want Of Principle.

Nothing Should Be Left To An Invaded People Except Their Eyes For Weeping.
