"While the people retain their virtue and vigilance, no administration, by any extreme of wickedness or folly, can very seriously injure the government in the short space of four years."

Abraham Lincoln, First Inaugural Address, 1861.

"I will take care of myself."

Lincoln, April 3, 1865, in a telegram reply to Secretary of War Stanton, in which the Secretary had begged him not to place himself in danger by going to Richmond after it had fallen to Unionb forces.

"Thank God that I have lived to see this! It seems to me that I have been dreaming a horrid dream for four years, and now the nightmare is gone. I want to see Richmond."

Abraham Lincoln, as remembered by Adm. David Porter, upon hearing about the fall of Richmond, April 3, 1865.

"Passion has helped us; but can do so no more. It will in future be our enemy. Reason, cold, calculating, unimpassioned reason, must furnish all the materials for our future support and defense."

Abraham Lincoln, in his Lyceum Address, January 27, 1838.
