We Know The Redemption Must

The Natural State Of Mankind ... And I Know That This Is A Controversial Idea... Is Freedom... And The Proof Is The Lengths To Which A Man, Woman, Or Child Will Go To Regain It Once Lost. He Will Break Loose His Chains. He Will Decimate His Enemies. He Will Try And Try And Try Again, Against All Odds, Against All Prejudices.

Religion, Charity, Pure Benevolence, And Morals, Mingled Up With Superstitious Rites And Ferocious Cruelty, Form In Their Combination Institutions The Most Powerful And The Most Pernicious That Have Ever Afflicted Mankind.

The Conflict Between The Principle Of Liberty And The Fact Of Slavery Is Coming Gradually To An Issue. Slavery Has Now The Power, And Falls Into Convulsions At The Approach Of Freedom.

The Four Most Miserable Years Of My Life Were My Four Years In The Presidency.

Wherever The Standard Of Freedom And Independence Has Been Or Shall Be Unfurled, There Will Be America's Heart, Her Benedictions And Her Prayers.
