Character is like a tree and reputation like its shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing. ~ ~ Democracy is the government of the people, by the people, for the people. ~ ~ Our cause, then, must be intrusted to, and conducted by, its own undoubted friends-those whose hands are free, whose hearts are in the work-who do care for the result. Two years ago the Republicans of the nation mustered over thirteen hundred thousand strong. We did this under the single impulse of resistance to a common danger, with every external circumstance against us. Of strange, discordant, and even, hostile elements, we gathered from the four winds, and formed and fought the battle through, under the constant hot fire of a disciplined, proud, and pampered enemy. Did we brave all then to falter now?-now when that same enemy is wavering, dissevered, and belligerent? The result is not doubtful. We shall not fail-if we stand firm, we shall not fail. Wise councils may accelerate or mistakes delay it, but, sooner or later, the victory is sure to come ~ ~
And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years.

But if you want to test a man's character - give him power. ~ ~ Everything I am or ever hope to be, I owe to my angel mother. ~ ~ Public opinion, though often formed upon a wrong basis, yet generally has a strong underlying sense of justice ~ ~ That some achieve great success, is proof to all that others can achieve it as well. ~ ~ Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power. ~ ~ You cannot build character and courage by taking away man's initiative and independence. ~ ~ The things I want to know are in books; my best friend is the man who'll get me a book I ain't read. ~ ~ Whenever I hear anyone arguing for slavery, I feel a strong impulse to see it tired on him personally. ~ Most Popular Topics:
