Lincoln Quotes on Democracy
As I would not be a Slave
As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master. This expresses my idea of democracy. Whatever differs from this, to the extent of the difference, is no democracy.

In your hands, my dissatisfied fellow-countrymen, and not in mine, is the momentous issue of civil war. The Government will not assail you.

Those who deny freedom to others, deserve it not for themselves; and, under a just God, can not long retain it.
