“Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man’s character, give him power.”

Abraham Lincoln

The 16th president of the United States of America (1809 – 1865)

“America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.”

“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. This is a most valuable – a most sacred right – a right, which we hope and believe, is to liberate the world.”
