When You Have Got An Elephant By

Honor Is Better Than Honors.

I Never Did Ask More, Nor Ever Was Willing To Accept Less, Than For All The States, And The People Thereof, To Take And Hold Their Places, And Their Rights, In The Union, Under The Constitution Of The United States. For This Alone Have I Felt Authorized To Struggle; And I Seek Neither More Nor Less Now.

The Union, And The Constitution, Are The Picture Of Silver, Subsequently Framed Around It. The Picture Was Not Made To Conceal Or Destroy The Apple, But To Adorn And Preserve It. The Picture Was Made For The Apple-not The Apple For The Picture.

I Believe The Declaration That ‘all Men Are Created Equal’ Is The Great Fundamental Principle Upon Which Our Free Institutions Rest.

I Do Not Think Much Of A Man Who Is Not Wiser Today Than He Was Yesterday.
