I Walk Slowly, But Never Backwards.

You Can Not Fail In Any Laudable Object, Unless You Allow Your Mind To Be Improperly Directed.

My Old Father Used To Have A Saying: If You Make A Bad Bargain, Hug It All The Tighter.

And By Virtue Of The Power, And For The Purpose Aforesaid, I Do Order And Declare That All Persons Held As Slaves Within Said Designated States, And Parts Of States, Are, And Henceforward Shall Be Free; And That The Executive Government Of The United States, Including The Military And Naval Authorities Thereof, Will Recognize And Maintain The Freedom Of Said Persons.

In The End, It's Not The Years In Your Life That Count. It's The Life In Your Years.

Slavery Is Wrong. If Slavery Is Right, All Words, Acts, Laws, And Constitutions Against It, Are Themselves Wrong, And Should Be Silenced, And Swept Away.
