+or charges. If you are redistributing or providing access to a work

+
+1.F.
+
+1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
+fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
+LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
+PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH 1.F.3. YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
+TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE

+the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
+refund. If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
+providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
+receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If the second copy
+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.

+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.

+
+Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.

+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit http://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
+To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate

+Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+ http://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

+ _A FOLLOWER OF LINCOLN
+ IN WAR AND PEACE
+ PRINCIPLE AND PRECEPT_
+
+
+ _Let us have faith that right makes might_
+
+
+
+
+_JANUARY_
+
+_The dogmas of the past are inadequate to the stormy present._
+
+
+_FIRST_
+
+Always do the very best you can.
+
+
+_SECOND_
+
+If our sense of duty forbids, then let us stand by our sense of duty.
+
+
+_THIRD_
+
+It's no use to be always looking up these hard spots.
+
+
+_FOURTH_
+
+All I am in the world, I owe to the opinion of me which the people
+express when they call me "Honest Old Abe."
+
+
+_FIFTH_
+
+The way for a young man to rise is to improve himself in every way he
+can, never suspecting that anybody is hindering him.
+
+
+_SIXTH_
+
+No one has needed favors more than I.
+
+
+_SEVENTH_
+
+Whatever is calculated to improve the condition of the honest,
+struggling laboring man, I am for that thing.
+
+
+_EIGHTH_
+
+All we want is time and patience.
+
+
+_NINTH_
+
+I esteem foreigners as no better than other people--nor any worse.
+
+
+_TENTH_
+
+My experience and observation have been that those who promise the
+most do the least.
+
+
+_ELEVENTH_
+
+I didn't know anything about it, but I thought you knew your own
+business best.
+
+
+_TWELFTH_
+
+If I send a man to buy a horse for me, I expect him to tell me his
+points--not how many hairs there are in his tail.
+
+
+_THIRTEENTH_
+
+You must act.
+
+
+_FOURTEENTH_
+
+I will try, and do the best I can.
+
+
+_FIFTEENTH_
+
+His attitude is such that, in the very selfishness of his nature, he
+can not but work to be successful!
+
+
+_SIXTEENTH_
+
+Afford all an unfettered start and a fair chance in the race of life.
+
+
+_SEVENTEENTH_
+
+I want Christians to pray for me; I need their prayers.
+
+
+_EIGHTEENTH_
+
+The young men must not be permitted to drift away.
+
+
+_NINETEENTH_
+
+The free institutions we enjoy have developed the powers and improved
+the condition of the whole people beyond any example in the world.
+
+
+_TWENTIETH_
+
+I shall do nothing in malice.
+
+
+_TWENTY-FIRST_
+
+Good men do not agree.
+
+
+_TWENTY-SECOND_
+
+I shall, to the best of my ability, repel force by force.
+
+
+_TWENTY-THIRD_
+
+Ballots are the rightful and peaceful successors of bullets.
+
+
+_TWENTY-FOURTH_
+
+I never thought he had more than average ability when we were young
+men together. But, then, I suppose he thought just the same about me.
+
+
+_TWENTY-FIFTH_
+
+Moral cowardice is something which I think I never had.
+
+
+_TWENTY-SIXTH_
+
+The patriotic instinct of plain people.
+
+
+_TWENTY-SEVENTH_
+
+The face of an old friend is like a ray of sunshine through dark and
+gloomy clouds.
+
+
+_TWENTY-EIGHTH_
+
+Will anybody do your work for you?
+
+
+_TWENTY-NINTH_
+
+My rightful masters, the American people.
+
+
+_THIRTIETH_
+
+Should any one in any case be content that his oath shall go unkept on
+a merely unsubstantial controversy as to how it shall be kept?
+
+
+_THIRTY-FIRST_
+
+The value of life is to improve one's condition.
+
+
+
+
+_FEBRUARY_
+
+_Let none falter who thinks he is right, and we may succeed._
+
+
+_FIRST_
+
+Labor is like any other commodity in the market--increase the demand
+for it and you increase the price of it.
+
+
+_SECOND_
+
+When I hear a man preach, I like to see him act as if he were fighting
+bees.
+
+
+_THIRD_
+
+I say "try," for if we never try, we never succeed.
+
+
+_FOURTH_
+
+The pioneer in any movement is not generally the best man to bring
+that movement to a successful issue.
+
+
+_FIFTH_
+
+Defeat and failure make everything seem wrong.
+
+
+_SIXTH_
+
+This nation cannot live on injustice.
+
+
+_SEVENTH_
+
+Something had to be done, and, as there does not appear to be any one
+else to do it, I did it.
+
+
+_EIGHTH_
+
+Poor parsons seem always to have large families.
+
+
+_NINTH_
+
+If it be true that the Lord has appointed me to do the work you have
+indicated, is it not probable that he would have communicated
+knowledge of the fact to me as well as to you?
+
+
+_TENTH_
+
+I trust I shall be willing to do my duty, though it costs my life.
+
+
+_ELEVENTH_
+
+I hope peace will come soon, and come to stay; and so come as to be
+worth the keeping in all future time.
+
+
+_TWELFTH_
+
+What there is of me is self-made.
+
+
+_THIRTEENTH_
+
+I was young once, and I am sure I was never ungenerously thrust back.
+
+
+_FOURTEENTH_
+
+Thank God for not making me a woman, but if He had, I suppose He would
+have made me just as ugly as He did, and no one would ever have
+tempted me.
+
+
+_FIFTEENTH_
+
+You may say anything you like about me,--if that will help.
+
+
+_SIXTEENTH_
+
+No men living are more worthy to be trusted than those who toil up
+from poverty--none less inclined to take, or touch, aught which they
+have not honestly earned.
+
+
+_SEVENTEENTH_
+
+As our case is new, so we must think anew.
+
+
+_EIGHTEENTH_
+
+I shall do less whenever I believe what I am doing hurts the cause;
+and I shall do more whenever I believe doing more helps the cause.
+
+
+_NINETEENTH_
+
+No personal significance, or insignificance, can spare one or another
+of us.
+
+
+_TWENTIETH_
+
+If I can learn God's will, I will do it.
+
+
+_TWENTY-FIRST_
+
+It is the nature of the case, and no one is to blame.
+
+
+_TWENTY-SECOND_
+
+Tell the whole truth.
+
+
+_TWENTY-THIRD_
+
+He sticks through thick and thin,--I admire such a man.
+
+
+_TWENTY-FOURTH_
+
+If by the mere force of numbers a majority should deprive a minority
+of any constitutional right, it might in a moral point of view justify
+revolution,--certainly would if such right were a vital one.
+
+
+_TWENTY-FIFTH_
+
+My hand was tired; but my resolution was firm.
+
+
+_TWENTY-SIXTH_
+
+It is a difficult role, and so much the greater will be the honor if
+you perform it well.
+
+
+_TWENTY-SEVENTH_
+
+I shall write my papers myself. The people will understand them.
+
+
+_TWENTY-EIGHTH_
+
+Though much provoked, let us do nothing through passion and
+ill-temper.
+
+
+_TWENTY-NINTH_
+
+Have confidence in yourself, a valuable if not indispensable quality.
+
+
+
+
+_MARCH_
+
+_Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves; and,
+under a just God, can not long retain it._
+
+
+_FIRST_
+
+Twenty thousand is as much as any man ought to want.
+
+
+_SECOND_
+
+By general law, life and limb must be protected; yet often a limb must
+be amputated to save a life; but a life is never given merely to save
+a limb.
+
+
+_THIRD_
+
+Trust to the good sense of the American people.
+
+
+_FOURTH_
+
+Let us judge not, that we be not judged.
+
+
+_FIFTH_
+
+Put the foot down firmly.
+
+
+_SIXTH_
+
+The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise to the
+occasion.
+
+
+_SEVENTH_
+
+I bring a heart true to the work.
+
+
+_EIGHTH_
+
+The people will save their government, if the government itself will
+do its part only indifferently well.
+
+
+_NINTH_
+
+Most certainly I intend no injustice to any one, and if I have done
+any I deeply regret it.
+
+
+_TENTH_
+
+With firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right.
+
+
+_ELEVENTH_
+
+Action in the crisis of a nation must accord with its necessities, and
+therefore can seldom be confined to precedent.
+
+
+_TWELFTH_
+
+You can't put a long sword in a short scabbard.
+
+
+_THIRTEENTH_
+
+"I have made it a rule of my life," said the old parson, "not to cross
+Fox River until I get to it."
+
+
+_FOURTEENTH_
+
+It is sometimes well to be humble.
+
+
+_FIFTEENTH_
+
+Don't let joy carry you into excesses.
+
+
+_SIXTEENTH_
+
+Liberty is your birthright.
+
+
+_SEVENTEENTH_
+
+If the minority will not acquiesce, the majority must, or government
+will cease.
+
+
+_EIGHTEENTH_
+
+Learn the laws and obey them.
+
+
+_NINETEENTH_
+
+It is easy to conceive that all these shades of opinion, and even
+more, may be sincerely entertained by honest and truthful men.
+
+
+_TWENTIETH_
+
+It is better only sometimes to be right than at all times wrong.
+
+
+_TWENTY-FIRST_
+
+When you have an elephant on hand, and he wants to run away, better
+let him run.
+
+
+_TWENTY-SECOND_
+
+Whatever God designs, He will do for me yet.
+
+
+_TWENTY-THIRD_
+
+Quarrel not at all.
+
+
+_TWENTY-FOURTH_
+
+Let no opportunity of making a mark escape.
+
+
+_TWENTY-FIFTH_
+
+I want in all cases to do right; and most particularly so in all cases
+with women.
+
+
+_TWENTY-SIXTH_
+
+I should rejoice to be spared the labor of a contest, but being in I
+shall go it thoroughly.
+
+
+_TWENTY-SEVENTH_
+
+I intend discourtesy to no one.
+
+
+_TWENTY-EIGHTH_
+
+The doctrine of self-government is right--absolutely and eternally
+right.
+
+
+_TWENTY-NINTH_
+
+This government is expressly charged with the duty of providing for
+the general welfare.
+
+
+_THIRTIETH_
+
+We are not bound to follow implicitly in whatever our fathers did. To
+do so would be to reject all progress, all improvement.
+
+
+_THIRTY-FIRST_
+
+Understanding the spirit of our institutions to aim at the elevation
+of men, I am opposed to whatever tends to degrade them.
+
+
+
+
+_APRIL_
+
+_The probability that we may fail in the struggle ought not to deter
+us from the support of a cause which we deem to be just._
+
+
+_FIRST_
+
+You can fool some of the people all of the time, or all of the people
+some of the time; but you can't fool all of the people all of the
+time.
+
+
+_SECOND_
+
+He has abundant talents--quite enough to occupy all his time without
+devoting any to temper.
+
+
+_THIRD_
+
+I do not argue--I beseech you to make the argument for yourself.
+
+
+_FOURTH_
+
+Must a government, of necessity, be too strong for the liberties of
+its own people, or too weak to maintain its own existence?
+
+
+_FIFTH_
+
+Lift artificial weights from all shoulders.
+
+
+_SIXTH_
+
+The purposes of the Lord are perfect and must prevail.
+
+
+_SEVENTH_
+
+Some people say they could not take very well to my proclamation, but
+now that I have the varioloid, I am happy to say I have something that
+everybody can take.
+
+
+_EIGHTH_
+
+Honest statesmanship is the employment of individual meannesses for
+the public good.
+
+
+_NINTH_
+
+Obey God's commandments.
+
+
+_TENTH_
+
+Men are not flattered by being shown that there has been a difference
+of purpose between the Almighty and them.
+
+
+_ELEVENTH_
+
+Important principles may and must be inflexible.
+
+
+_TWELFTH_
+
+There is but one duty now--to fight.
+
+
+_THIRTEENTH_
+
+A majority held in restraint by constitutional checks and limitations,
+and always changing easily with deliberate changes of popular opinions
+and sentiments, is the only true sovereign of a free people.
+
+
+_FOURTEENTH_
+
+This, too, shall pass away: never fear.
+
+
+_FIFTEENTH_
+
+I am not afraid to die.
+
+
+_SIXTEENTH_
+
+I have said nothing but what I am willing to live by, and, if it be
+the pleasure of Almighty God, to die by.
+
+
+_SEVENTEENTH_
+
+Let us strive on to finish the work we are in.
+
+
+_EIGHTEENTH_
+
+Give us a little more light, and a little less noise.
+
+
+_NINETEENTH_
+
+The wild lands of the country should be distributed so that every man
+should have the means and opportunity of benefiting his condition.
+
+
+_TWENTIETH_
+
+I shall try to correct errors, when shown to be errors; and I shall
+adopt new views, so fast as they shall appear to be true views.
+
+
+_TWENTY-FIRST_
+
+There is nothing like getting used to things.
+
+
+_TWENTY-SECOND_
+
+When the white man governs himself, that is self-government; but when
+he governs himself and also governs another man, that is more than
+self-government--that is despotism.
+
+
+_TWENTY-THIRD_
+
+If they kill me, the next will be just as bad for them.
+
+
+_TWENTY-FOURTH_
+
+With Shakespeare the thought suffices.
+
+
+_TWENTY-FIFTH_
+
+As to the crazy folks--why, I must take my chances.
+
+
+_TWENTY-SIXTH_
+
+I think it more rare, if not more wise, for a public man to abstain
+from much speaking.
+
+
+_TWENTY-SEVENTH_
+
+At any rate, I will keep my part of the bargain.
+
+
+_TWENTY-EIGHTH_
+
+The Lord prefers common-looking people. That is why he made so many of
+them.
+
+
+_TWENTY-NINTH_
+
+When the time comes, I shall take the ground I think is right.
+
+
+_THIRTIETH_
+
+Let the thing be pressed.
+
+
+
+
+_MAY_
+
+_Two principles have stood face to face from the beginning of time and
+will ever continue to struggle. The one is the common right of
+humanity; the other is the divine right of kings._
+
+
+_FIRST_
+
+Revolutionize through the ballot box.
+
+
+_SECOND_
+
+Repeal all past history,--you still can not repeal human nature.
+
+
+_THIRD_
+
+Capital has its rights, which are as worthy of protection as other
+rights.
+
+
+_FOURTH_
+
+Teach men that what they can not take by an election, neither can they
+take by war.
+
+
+_FIFTH_
+
+I authorize no bargains, and will be bound by none.
+
+
+_SIXTH_
+
+When a man is sincerely penitent for his misdeeds, and gives
+satisfactory evidence of the same, he can safely be pardoned.
+
+
+_SEVENTH_
+
+If destruction be our lot, it must spring up among ourselves.
+
+
+_EIGHTH_
+
+In a democracy, where the majority rule by the ballot through
+the forms of law, physical rebellions are radically wrong,
+unconstitutional, and are treason.
+
+
+_NINTH_
+
+Let us be friends, and treat each other like friends.
+
+
+_TENTH_
+
+If I was less thin-skinned I should get along much better.
+
+
+_ELEVENTH_
+
+We will talk over the merits of the case.
+
+
+_TWELFTH_
+
+Nothing shall be wanting on my part, if sustained by the American
+people and God.
+
+
+_THIRTEENTH_
+
+Are you not over-cautious?
+
+
+_FOURTEENTH_
+
+The severest justice may not always be the best policy.
+
+
+_FIFTEENTH_
+
+The rule of a minority, as a permanent arrangement, is wholly
+inadmissible.
+
+
+_SIXTEENTH_
+
+One poor man, colored though he be, with God on his side, is stronger
+against us than the hosts of the Rebellion.
+
+
+_SEVENTEENTH_
+
+Never fear, victory will come.
+
+
+_EIGHTEENTH_
+
+The Lord has not deserted me thus far, and He is not going to now.
+
+
+_NINETEENTH_
+
+I remember my mother's prayers and they have always followed me. They
+have clung to me all my life.
+
+
+_TWENTIETH_
+
+Are you strong enough?
+
+
+_TWENTY-FIRST_
+
+If I do not go away from here a wiser man, I shall go away a better
+man.
+
+
+_TWENTY-SECOND_
+
+I know that liberty is right.
+
+
+_TWENTY-THIRD_
+
+You must not give me the praise--it belongs to God.
+
+
+_TWENTY-FOURTH_
+
+It has always been a sentiment with me that all mankind should be
+free.
+
+
+_TWENTY-FIFTH_
+
+I don't pretend to be bright.
+
+
+_TWENTY-SIXTH_
+
+It is only by the active development of events that character and
+ability can be tested.
+
+
+_TWENTY-SEVENTH_
+
+I remember a good story when I hear it, but I never invented anything
+original: I am only a retail dealer.
+
+
+_TWENTY-EIGHTH_
+
+Few men are tried, or so many would not fit their places so badly.
+
+
+_TWENTY-NINTH_
+
+Preach God and liberty to the "bulls" and "bears."
+
+
+_THIRTIETH_
+
+The Union is older than any of the States.
+
+
+_THIRTY-FIRST_
+
+I only beg that you will not ask impossibilities of me.
+
+
+
+
+_JUNE_
+
+_It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining
+before us,--that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to
+the cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion,--that
+we here highly resolve that the dead shall not have died in vain._
+
+
+_FIRST_
+
+Let the people know the truth, and the country is safe.
+
+
+_SECOND_
+
+Men moving in an official circle are apt to become merely
+official--not to say arbitrary.
+
+
+_THIRD_
+
+Negroes, like other people, act upon motives. Why should they do
+anything for us if we will do nothing for them?
+
+
+_FOURTH_
+
+The Lord is always on the side of the right.
+
+
+_FIFTH_
+
+If I go down, I intend to go down like the "Cumberland," with my
+colors flying.
+
+
+_SIXTH_
+
+Killing the dog does not cure the bite.
+
+
+_SEVENTH_
+
+I am nothing, but truth is everything.
+
+
+_EIGHTH_
+
+Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if
+labor had not first existed.
+
+
+_NINTH_
+
+Whatever shall appear to be God's will, I will do.
+
+
+_TENTH_
+
+Only those generals who gain success can be dictators.
+
+
+_ELEVENTH_
+
+Can aliens make treaties easier than friends can make laws?
+
+
+_TWELFTH_
+
+The Patagonians open oysters and throw the shells out of the
+window--until the pile gets higher than the house; then they move.
+
+
+_THIRTEENTH_
+
+The question of time can not and must not be ignored.
+
+
+_FOURTEENTH_
+
+We must be more cheerful in the future.
+
+
+_FIFTEENTH_
+
+Come what will, I will keep my faith with friend and foe.
+
+
+_SIXTEENTH_
+
+Keep in your own sphere, and there will be no difficulty.
+
+
+_SEVENTEENTH_
+
+If we could first know where we are and whither we are tending, we
+could better judge what to do and how to do it.
+
+
+_EIGHTEENTH_
+
+I am never easy, when I am handling a thought, until I have bounded it
+north, south, east, and west.
+
+
+_NINETEENTH_
+
+Others have been made fools of by the girls, but this can never be
+said of me; I made a fool of myself.
+
+
+_TWENTIETH_
+
+It is not best to swap horses while crossing a stream.
+
+
+_TWENTY-FIRST_
+
+I can only trust in God that I have made no mistake.
+
+
+_TWENTY-SECOND_
+
+It has been said of the world's history hitherto that "might makes
+right"; it is for us and for our times to reverse the maxim, and to
+show that right makes might.
+
+
+_TWENTY-THIRD_
+
+I shall stay right here and do my duty.
+
+
+_TWENTY-FOURTH_
+
+If we have no friends, we have no pleasure.
+
+
+_TWENTY-FIFTH_
+
+I am older in years than I am in the tricks and trades of politicians.
+
+
+_TWENTY-SIXTH_
+
+Any people anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the
+right to rise up and shake off the existing government and form a new
+one that suits them better.
+
+
+_TWENTY-SEVENTH_
+
+Our enemies want a squabble; and that they can have if we explain; and
+they can not have it if we don't.
+
+
+_TWENTY-EIGHTH_
+
+If it must be that I go down, let me go down linked to truth.
+
+
+_TWENTY-NINTH_
+
+I am very little inclined on any occasion to say anything unless I
+hope to produce some good by it.
+
+
+_THIRTIETH_
+
+Let us forget errors.
+
+
+
+
+_JULY_
+
+_Our fathers brought forth upon this continent a new nation, conceived
+in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created
+equal._
+
+
+_FIRST_
+
+This country, with all its institutions, belongs to the people who
+inhabit it.
+
+
+_SECOND_
+
+What is the use of putting up the gap when the fence is down all
+around?
+
+
+_THIRD_
+
+We hold the power--and bear the responsibility.
+
+
+_FOURTH_
+
+My countrymen, if you have been taught doctrines conflicting with the
+great landmarks of the Declaration of Independence; if you have
+listened to suggestions which would take away from its grandeur and
+mutilate the fair symmetry of its proportions; if you have been
+inclined to believe that all men are not created equal in those
+inalienable rights enumerated by our charter of liberty, let me
+entreat you to come back.
+
+
+_FIFTH_
+
+The Fourth of July has not quite dwindled away; it is still a great
+day for firecrackers.
+
+
+_SIXTH_
+
+I have never had a feeling, politically, that did not spring from the
+sentiments embodied in the Declaration of Independence.
+
+
+_SEVENTH_
+
+I have more pegs than holes to put them in.
+
+
+_EIGHTH_
+
+The government must not undertake to run the churches.
+
+
+_NINTH_
+
+All seems well with us.
+
+
+_TENTH_
+
+With public sentiment, nothing can fail; without it, nothing can
+succeed.
+
+
+_ELEVENTH_
+
+It is no child's play to save the principles of Jefferson from total
+overthrow in this nation.
+
+
+_TWELFTH_
+
+If the Ship of State should suffer wreck now, it will never need
+another pilot.
+
+
+_THIRTEENTH_
+
+Let us see what we can do.
+
+
+_FOURTEENTH_
+
+I will try to go to God with my sorrows.
+
+
+_FIFTEENTH_
+
+The wriggle to live, without toil, work, or labor, which I am not free
+from myself.
+
+
+_SIXTEENTH_
+
+Persisting in a charge one does not know to be true is malicious
+slander.
+
+
+_SEVENTEENTH_
+
+Steer from point to point--no farther than you can see.
+
+
+_EIGHTEENTH_
+
+God bless the women of America!
+
+
+_NINETEENTH_
+
+The churches, as such, must take care of themselves.
+
+
+_TWENTIETH_
+
+There is no more dangerous or expensive analysis than that which
+consists of trying a man.
+
+
+_TWENTY-FIRST_
+
+Answer with facts, not with arguments.
+
+
+_TWENTY-SECOND_
+
+The nation is beginning a new life.
+
+
+_TWENTY-THIRD_
+
+Better give your path to a dog than to be bitten by him in contesting
+for the right.
+
+
+_TWENTY-FOURTH_
+
+Money being the object, the man having money would be the victim.
+
+
+_TWENTY-FIFTH_
+
+I have been driven many times to my knees by the overwhelming
+conviction that I had nowhere else to go.
+
+
+_TWENTY-SIXTH_
+
+Early impressions last longer.
+
+
+_TWENTY-SEVENTH_
+
+Stand with anybody who stands right, ... and part with him when he
+goes wrong.
+
+
+_TWENTY-EIGHTH_
+
+My advice is to keep cool.
+
+
+_TWENTY-NINTH_
+
+If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and
+finisher.
+
+
+_THIRTIETH_
+
+I have done just as much as, and no more than, the public knows.
+
+
+_THIRTY-FIRST_
+
+Many free countries have lost their liberties and ours may lose hers;
+but, if she shall, be it my proudest boast, not that I was the last to
+desert, but that I never deserted her.
+
+
+
+
+_AUGUST_
+
+_I feel that I can not succeed without the Divine blessing, and on the
+Almighty Being I place my reliance for support._
+
+
+_FIRST_
+
+It is not "Can any of us imagine better?" but "Can we all do better?"
+
+
+_SECOND_
+
+Perpetuity is implied, if not expressed, in the fundamental law of all
+national governments.
+
+
+_THIRD_
+
+Wanting to work is so rare a merit that it should be encouraged.
+
+
+_FOURTH_
+
+We shall sooner have the fowl by hatching the egg than by smashing it.
+
+
+_FIFTH_
+
+Maintain the honor and integrity of the nation.
+
+
+_SIXTH_
+
+I look to the American people, and to that God who has never forsaken
+them.
+
+
+_SEVENTH_
+
+Secure peace through victory.
+
+
+_EIGHTH_
+
+What is the influence of fashion but the influence that other people's
+actions have on our actions?
+
+
+_NINTH_
+
+Our government rests in public opinion.
+
+
+_TENTH_
+
+Posterity has done nothing for us, and, theorize on it as we may,
+practically we shall do very little for it unless we are made to think
+we are, at the same time, doing something for ourselves.
+
+
+_ELEVENTH_
+
+I am glad to find a man who can go ahead without me.
+
+
+_TWELFTH_
+
+If you would win a man to your cause, first convince him you are his
+sincere friend.
+
+
+_THIRTEENTH_
+
+Gold is good in its place; but living, brave, and patriotic men are
+better than gold.
+
+
+_FOURTEENTH_
+
+These are not the days of miracles, and I suppose I am not to expect a
+direct revelation.
+
+
+_FIFTEENTH_
+
+Do not mix politics with your profession.
+
+
+_SIXTEENTH_
+
+The first reformer in any movement has to meet with such a hard
+opposition, and gets so battered and bespattered, that afterward, when
+people find they have to accept his reform, they will accept it more
+easily from another man.
+
+
+_SEVENTEENTH_
+
+Versatility is an injurious possession, since it can never be
+greatness.
+
+
+_EIGHTEENTH_
+
+A jury has too frequently at least one member more ready to hang the
+panel than to hang the traitor.
+
+
+_NINETEENTH_
+
+It is a cheering thought throughout life, that something can be done
+to ameliorate the condition of those who have been subjected to the
+hard usages of the world.
+
+
+_TWENTIETH_
+
+With some the word liberty may mean for each man to do as he pleases
+with himself, and the product of his labor; while with others the same
+word may mean for some men to do as they please with other men, and
+the product of other men's labor.
+
+
+_TWENTY-FIRST_
+
+Great distance in either time or space has wonderful power to lull and
+render quiescent the human mind.
+
+
+_TWENTY-SECOND_
+
+We are going through with our task.
+
+
+_TWENTY-THIRD_
+
+I do not impugn the motives of any one opposed to me.
+
+
+_TWENTY-FOURTH_
+
+Human nature will not change.
+
+
+_TWENTY-FIFTH_
+
+Beware of rashness!
+
+
+_TWENTY-SIXTH_
+
+It is difficult to make a man miserable while he feels he is worthy of
+himself.
+
+
+_TWENTY-SEVENTH_
+
+All should have an equal chance.
+
+
+_TWENTY-EIGHTH_
+
+I hope to be false to nothing you have been taught to expect of me.
+
+
+_TWENTY-NINTH_
+
+All honor to Jefferson!
+
+
+_THIRTIETH_
+
+It is the man who does not want to express an opinion whose opinion I
+want.
+
+
+_THIRTY-FIRST_
+
+I hope I am a Christian.
+
+
+
+
+_SEPTEMBER_
+
+_I feel that the time is coming when the sun shall shine, the rain
+fall, on no man who shall go forth to unrequited toil._
+
+
+_FIRST_
+
+Labor is the superior of capital and deserves much the higher
+consideration.
+
+
+_SECOND_
+
+Come, let us reason together, like the honest fellows we are.
+
+
+_THIRD_
+
+There is no such thing as a free man being fixed for life in the
+condition of a hired laborer.
+
+
+_FOURTH_
+
+There is, and probably always will be, a relation between labor and
+capital producing mutual benefits.
+
+
+_FIFTH_
+
+Labor is prior to and independent of capital.
+
+
+_SIXTH_
+
+This is a land where freedom of speech is guaranteed.
+
+
+_SEVENTH_
+
+Workingmen are the basis of all governments.
+
+
+_EIGHTH_
+
+Why should there not be a patient confidence in the ultimate justice
+of the people? Is there any better or equal hope in the world?
+
+
+_NINTH_
+
+The man does not live who is more devoted to peace than I.
+
+
+_TENTH_
+
+How hard it is to leave one's country no better than if one had never
+lived in it!
+
+
+_ELEVENTH_
+
+Keep the jewel of liberty in the family of freedom.
+
+
+_TWELFTH_
+
+Among freemen there can be no successful appeal from the ballot to the
+bullet.
+
+
+_THIRTEENTH_
+
+I have done all I could for the good of mankind.
+
+
+_FOURTEENTH_
+
+It is my constant anxiety and prayer that I and this nation should be
+on the Lord's side.
+
+
+_FIFTEENTH_
+
+No man is good enough to govern another man without that other's
+consent.
+
+
+_SIXTEENTH_
+
+What will the country say?
+
+
+_SEVENTEENTH_
+
+Mediocrity is sure of detection.
+
+
+_EIGHTEENTH_
+
+Washington was a happy man, because he was engaged in benefiting his
+race.
+
+
+_NINETEENTH_
+
+When the conduct of men is designed to be influenced,
+persuasion--kind, unassuming persuasion--should ever be adopted.
+
+
+_TWENTIETH_
+
+If all that has been said by orators and poets since the creation in
+praise of women were applied to the women of America, it would not do
+them full justice for their conduct during the war.
+
+
+_TWENTY-FIRST_
+
+There is something ludicrous in promises of good or threats of evil a
+great way off.
+
+
+_TWENTY-SECOND_
+
+Object whatsoever is possible, still the question recurs, "Can we do
+better?"
+
+
+_TWENTY-THIRD_
+
+I invoke the considerate judgment of mankind and the gracious favor of
+Almighty God.
+
+
+_TWENTY-FOURTH_
+
+God is with us.
+
+
+_TWENTY-FIFTH_
+
+Intemperance is one of the greatest, if not the greatest, of all evils
+among mankind.
+
+
+_TWENTY-SIXTH_
+
+When any church will inscribe over its altar, as its sole
+qualification for membership, the Saviour's condensed statement of
+both law and gospel, that church will I join with all my heart and
+soul.
+
+
+_TWENTY-SEVENTH_
+
+Wise counsels may accelerate, or mistakes delay it, but the victory is
+sure to come.
+
+
+_TWENTY-EIGHTH_
+
+The first necessity is of proving that popular government is not an
+absurdity.
+
+
+_TWENTY-NINTH_
+
+People seldom run unless there is something to run from.
+
+
+_THIRTIETH_
+
+Allow the people to do as they please with their own business.
+
+
+
+
+_OCTOBER_
+
+_Great statesmen as they (the Fathers of the Republic) were, they knew
+the tendency of prosperity to breed tyrants, and so they established
+these great self-evident truths, that when in the future some man,
+some faction, some interest, should set up the doctrine that none but
+rich men, none but white men, or none but Anglo-Saxon white men were
+entitled to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, their
+posterity might look up again to the Declaration of Independence and
+take courage to renew the battle which their fathers began, so that
+truth and justice and mercy and all the humane and Christian virtues
+might not be extinguished from the land; so that no man would
+hereafter dare to limit and circumscribe the great principles on which
+the temple of liberty was being built._
+
+
+_FIRST_
+
+Nothing stamped with the Divine image and likeness was sent into the
+world to be trodden on and degraded and imbruted by its fellows.
+
+
+_SECOND_
+
+You must remember that some things legally right are not morally
+right.
+
+
+_THIRD_
+
+Mercy bears richer rewards than strict justice.
+
+
+_FOURTH_
+
+No human counsel hath devised nor hath any mortal hand worked out
+these great things.
+
+
+_FIFTH_
+
+It is not much in the nature of man to be driven to do anything.
+
+
+_SIXTH_
+
+All that I am, or hope to be, I owe to my mother.
+
+
+_SEVENTH_
+
+The times are too grave and perilous for ambitious schemes and
+personal rivalries.
+
+
+_EIGHTH_
+
+Act as becomes a patriot.
+
+
+_NINTH_
+
+Suspicion and jealousy never did help any man in any situation.
+
+
+_TENTH_
+
+If danger ever reaches us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot
+come from abroad.
+
+
+_ELEVENTH_
+
+I can't take pay for doing my duty.
+
+
+_TWELFTH_
+
+I have not willingly planted a thorn in any man's bosom.
+
+
+_THIRTEENTH_
+
+We had better have a friend than an enemy.
+
+
+_FOURTEENTH_
+
+In giving freedom to the slave, we assure freedom to the free.
+
+
+_FIFTEENTH_
+
+No man resolved to make the most of himself can spare time for
+personal contention.
+
+
+_SIXTEENTH_
+
+There is no grievance that is a fit subject of redress by mob law.
+
+
+_SEVENTEENTH_
+
+Punishment has to follow sin.
+
+
+_EIGHTEENTH_
+
+Let us to the end dare to do our duty.
+
+
+_NINETEENTH_
+
+Few can be induced to labor exclusively for posterity, and none will
+do it enthusiastically.
+
+
+_TWENTIETH_
+
+It is a quality of revolutions not to go by old lines or old laws, but
+to break up both and make new ones.
+
+
+_TWENTY-FIRST_
+
+Military glory--that attractive rainbow that rises in showers of
+blood.
+
+
+_TWENTY-SECOND_
+
+Pleasures to be enjoyed, or pains to be endured, after we shall be
+dead and gone, are but little regarded.
+
+
+_TWENTY-THIRD_
+
+Allow all the governed an equal voice in the government; that, and
+that alone, is self-government.
+
+
+_TWENTY-FOURTH_
+
+The universal sense of mankind on any subject is an argument, or at
+least an influence, not easily overcome.
+
+
+_TWENTY-FIFTH_
+
+Without guile and with pure purpose, let us renew our trust in God and
+go forward without fear and with manly hearts.
+
+
+_TWENTY-SIXTH_
+
+Unless among those deficient of intellect, every one you trade with
+makes something.
+
+
+_TWENTY-SEVENTH_
+
+Implore the compassion and forgiveness of the Almighty, that he may
+enlighten the nation to know and to do His will.
+
+
+_TWENTY-EIGHTH_
+
+We should look beyond our noses.
+
+
+_TWENTY-NINTH_
+
+Labor for all now living, as well as all hereafter to live.
+
+
+_THIRTIETH_
+
+I have acted upon my best convictions, without selfishness or malice.
+
+
+_THIRTY-FIRST_
+
+Success does not so much depend upon external help as on
+self-reliance.
+
+
+
+
+_NOVEMBER_
+
+_All are of the great family of men, and if there is one shackle upon
+any of them, it would be far better to lift the load._
+
+
+_FIRST_
+
+Men should utter nothing for which they would not be willingly
+responsible through time and in eternity.
+
+
+_SECOND_
+
+Never mind if you are a count; you shall be treated with just as much
+consideration, for all that.
+
+
+_THIRD_
+
+If Almighty God gives a man a cowardly pair of legs, how can he help
+their running away with him?
+
+
+_FOURTH_
+
+It is against my principles to contest a clear matter of right.
+
+
+_FIFTH_
+
+The strife of elections is but human nature applied to the facts of
+the case.
+
+
+_SIXTH_
+
+How nobly distinguished that people who shall have planted and
+nurtured both the political and moral freedom of their species!
+
+
+_SEVENTH_
+
+If we succeed, there will be glory enough.
+
+
+_EIGHTH_
+
+Office seekers are a curse to the country.
+
+
+_NINTH_
+
+Justice to all.
+
+
+_TENTH_
+
+It must be somebody's business.
+
+
+_ELEVENTH_
+
+Every man has a right to be equal to every other man.
+
+
+_TWELFTH_
+
+Happy day, when, all appetites controlled, all passions subdued, all
+matter subjugated, mind, conquering mind, shall live and move, the
+monarch of the world!
+
+
+_THIRTEENTH_
+
+We will be remembered in spite of ourselves.
+
+
+_FOURTEENTH_
+
+I don't know anything about money. I never had enough of my own to
+fret me.
+
+
+_FIFTEENTH_
+
+Heal the wounds of the nation.
+
+
+_SIXTEENTH_
+
+I am not at liberty to shift my ground, that is out of the question.
+
+
+_SEVENTEENTH_
+
+For thirty years I have been a temperance man, and I am too old to
+change.
+
+
+_EIGHTEENTH_
+
+The heart is the great highroad to man's reason.
+
+
+_NINETEENTH_
+
+Hope to all the world for all future time.
+
+
+_TWENTIETH_
+
+The young men must not wait to be brought forward by the older men.
+
+
+_TWENTY-FIRST_
+
+Hold firm as a chain of steel.
+
+
+_TWENTY-SECOND_
+
+One war at a time.
+
+
+_TWENTY-THIRD_
+
+I did not break my sword, for I had none to break, but I bent my
+musket pretty badly.
+
+
+_TWENTY-FOURTH_
+
+Meet face to face and converse together--the best way to efface
+unpleasant feeling.
+
+
+_TWENTY-FIFTH_
+
+And now for a day of Thanksgiving!
+
+
+_TWENTY-SIXTH_
+
+The influence of fashion is not confined to any particular thing or
+class of things.
+
+
+_TWENTY-SEVENTH_
+
+Before I resolve to do the one thing or the other, I must gain my
+confidence in my own ability to keep my resolves when they are made.
+
+
+_TWENTY-EIGHTH_
+
+Such of us as have never fallen victims to intemperance have been
+spared more from the absence of appetite than from any mental or moral
+superiority over those who have.
+
+
+_TWENTY-NINTH_
+
+Our political revolution of 1776 was the germ that has vegetated, and
+still is to grow into the universal liberty of mankind.
+
+
+_THIRTIETH_
+
+By mutual concessions we should harmonize and act together.
+
+
+
+
+_DECEMBER_
+
+_Teach hope to all--despair to none._
+
+
+_FIRST_
+
+Rise up to the height of a generation of free men worthy of a free
+government.
+
+
+_SECOND_
+
+Let us be quite sober.
+
+
+_THIRD_
+
+We prefer a candidate who will allow the people to have their own way,
+regardless of his private opinion.
+
+
+_FOURTH_
+
+The people's will is the ultimate law for all.
+
+
+_FIFTH_
+
+I shall do my utmost that whoever is to hold the helm for the next
+voyage shall start with the best possible chance of saving the ship.
+
+
+_SIXTH_
+
+My gratitude is free from all sense of personal triumph.
+
+
+_SEVENTH_
+
+How to do something, and not to do too much, is the desideratum.
+
+
+_EIGHTH_
+
+We mean to be as deliberate and calm as it is possible to be; but as
+firm and resolved as it is possible for men to be.
+
+
+_NINTH_
+
+He that will fight to keep himself a slave, ought to be a slave.
+
+
+_TENTH_
+
+If the end brings me out wrong, ten angels swearing I was right would
+make no difference.
+
+
+_ELEVENTH_
+
+Under all this seeming want of life and motion, the world does move
+nevertheless.
+
+
+_TWELFTH_
+
+I shall never be old enough to speak without embarrassment when I have
+nothing to talk about.
+
+
+_THIRTEENTH_
+
+It adds nothing to my satisfaction that another man shall be
+disappointed.
+
+
+_FOURTEENTH_
+
+Take your full time.
+
+
+_FIFTEENTH_
+
+I surely will not blame them for not doing what I should not know how
+to do myself.
+
+
+_SIXTEENTH_
+
+The man and the dollar, but, in case of conflict, the man before the
+dollar.
+
+
+_SEVENTEENTH_
+
+The strongest bond of human sympathy, outside of the family relation,
+should be one uniting all working people, of all nations, and tongues,
+and kindreds.
+
+
+_EIGHTEENTH_
+
+We can see the past, though we may not claim to have directed it; and
+seeing it, we feel more hopeful and confident for the future.
+
+
+_NINETEENTH_
+
+Squirming and crawling around can do no good.
+
+
+_TWENTIETH_
+
+I wish to see all men free.
+
+
+_TWENTY-FIRST_
+
+Let them laugh, so long as the thing works well.
+
+
+_TWENTY-SECOND_
+
+Let there be peace.
+
+
+_TWENTY-THIRD_
+
+The age is not yet dead.
+
+
+_TWENTY-FOURTH_
+
+With malice toward none, with charity for all.
+
+
+_TWENTY-FIFTH_
+
+Let us at all times remember that all American citizens are brothers
+of a common country.
+
+
+_TWENTY-SIXTH_
+
+Be hopeful.
+
+
+_TWENTY-SEVENTH_
+
+Let not him who is homeless pull down the house of another.
+
+
+_TWENTY-EIGHTH_
+
+The struggle for to-day is not altogether for to-day--it is for a vast
+future.
+
+
+_TWENTY-NINTH_
+
+We can not escape history.
+
+
+_THIRTIETH_
+
+We here highly resolve that the dead shall not have died in vain; that
+the nation shall, under God, have a new birth of freedom; and that the
+government of the people, by the people, and for the people shall not
+perish from the earth.
+
+
+_THIRTY-FIRST_
+
+Let us dare to do our duty as we understand it.

+copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
+works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg

+collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or

+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all

+
+Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org.

+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal

+
+
+Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit http://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
+To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate

+
+Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+ http://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
