We cannot be a house divided - divided in will, divided in interest, divided in soul. We cannot be a house divided and live.
From Stephen Vincent Benet
You call my candidate a horse thief, and I call yours a lunatic, and we both of us know it's just till election day. It's an American custom, like eating corn on the cob. And, afterwards, we settle down quite peaceably and agree we've got a pretty good country - until next election.
Let us be bold enough and free enough to follow the great examples - the men of good will and honor who put aside little ways and petty hatreds to build the American dream.
Life is not lost by dying; life is lost minute by minute, day by dragging day, in all the thousand small uncaring ways.
Truth is a hard deer to hunt. If you eat too much truth at once, you may die of the truth.
Honesty is as rare as a man without self-pity.
We thought, because we had power, we had wisdom.
I have fallen in love with American names, the sharp names that never get fat.
Dreaming men are haunted men.
A man with a mouth like a mastiff, a brow like a mountain, and eyes like burning antracite - that was Dan'l Webster in his prime.
