Lincoln emancipated nobody. The man freed not a single slave.

I often say of George Washington that he was one of the few in the whole history of the world who was not carried away by power.

Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson hated each other so much. But that hate that they had for each other did not come before the love of their country.

It is easily and often overlooked that when Thomas Jefferson asserted that life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness were inalienable human rights, he did so on the ground that they had been endowed by God, our Creator.

The Free State men, myself among them, took it for granted that Missouri was a slave state.

If Thomas Jefferson had heard us, he probably would have said, 'We shouldn't have free speech.'

The irony is that Washington was, in reality, very much like Benedict Arnold. The big difference was that Washington was ultimately able to control his emotions, something Arnold never learned to do.

Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves, Robert Lincoln bought a nice ski lodge.

I think Thomas Jefferson would have said the more speech, the better.

There can be no tyrants where there are no slaves.
