With malice towards none...
With charity for all;
With firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us
strive on to finish the work we are in; to bind up the nation's wounds; to
care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow and his
orphan-- to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace
among ourselves, and with all nations.
Abraham
Lincoln, March 4, 1865 |
