I Can Only Say That I Am

Act With A Determination Not To Be Turned Aside By Thoughts Of The Past And Fears Of The Future.

We Made A Great Mistake In The Beginning Of Our Struggle, And I Fear, In Spite Of All We Can Do, It Will Prove To Be A Fatal Mistake. We Appointed All Our Worst Generals To Command Our Armies, And All Our Best Generals To Edit The Newspapers

All This Has Been My Fault.

I Think It Better To Do Right, Even If We Suffer In So Doing, Than To Incur The Reproach Of Our Consciences And Posterity.

For I Consider The Character Of No Man Affected By A Want Of Success, Provided He Has Made An Honest Effort To Succeed.
