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 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. + + +Section 3.

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. |
