The Best of The Bargain

"I have stepped out upon this platform that I may see you and that you may see me, and in the arrangement I have the best of the bargain." [Abraham lincoln]

The Will of God Prevails

"The will of God prevails. In great contests each party claims to act in accordance with the will of God. Both may be, and one must be, wrong. God cannot be for and against the same thing at the same time. In the present civil war it is quite possible that God's purpose is something different from the purpose of either party - and yet the human instrumentalities, working just as they do, are of the best adaptation to effect His purpose." [Abraham lincoln]

The Demon of Intemperance

"The demon of intemperance ever seems to have delighted in sucking the blood of genius and of generosity." [Abraham lincoln]

Angels of Our Nature

"We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battlefield and patriot grave to every living heart and hearthstone all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature." [Abraham lincoln]

What is Conservatism

"What is conservatism? Is it not adherence to the old and tried, against the new and untried?"
[Abraham lincoln]

Liberty and Tyranny

"We all declare for liberty; but in using the same word we do not all mean the same thing. With some the word liberty may mean for each man to do as he pleases with himself, and the product of his labor; while with others, the same word may mean for some men to do as they please with other men, and the product of other men's labor. Here are two, not only different, but incompatible things, called by the same name - liberty. And it follows that each of the things is, by the respective parties, called by two different and incompatible names - liberty and tyranny." [Abraham lincoln]

Preserve, Protect, and Defend

"In your hands, my dissatisfied fellow-countrymen, and not in mine, is the momentous issue of civil war. The Government will not assail you. You can have no conflict without being yourselves the aggressors. You have no oath registered in heaven to destroy the Government, while I shall have the most solemn one to 'preserve, protect, and defend it'." [Abraham lincoln]

Mob Law

"There is no grievance that is a fit object of redress by mob law." [Abraham lincoln]

As a Nation of Freemen

"At what point shall we expect the approach of danger? By what means shall we fortify against it? Shall we expect some transatlantic military giant, to step the Ocean, and crush us at a blow? Never! All the armies of Europe, Asia and Africa combined, with all the treasure of the earth (our own excepted) in their military chest; with a Buonaparte for a commander, could not by force, take a drink from the Ohio, or make a track on the Blue Ridge, in a trial of a thousand years. At what point, then, is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide." [Abraham lincoln]

I Happen Temporarily

"I happen temporarily to occupy this big White House. I am living witness that any one of your children may look to come here as my father's child has." [Abraham lincoln]

Full Enjoyment

"I do therefore invite my fellow citizens in every part of the United States, and also those who are at sea and those who are sojourning in foreign lands, to set apart and observe the last Thursday of November next, as a day of Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens. And I recommend to them that while offering up the ascriptions justly due to Him for such singular deliverances and blessings, they do also, with humble penitence for our national perverseness and disobedience, commend to His tender care all those who have become widows, orphans, mourners or sufferers in the lamentable civil strife in which we are unavoidably engaged, and fervently implore the interposition of the Almighty Hand to heal the wounds of the nation and to restore it as soon as may be consistent with the Divine purposes to the full enjoyment of peace, harmony, tranquillity and Union." [Abraham lincoln]

And This, Too, Shall Pass Away

"It is said an Eastern monarch once charged his wise men to invent him a sentence to be ever in view, and which should be true and appropriate in all times and situations. They presented him the words: 'And this, too, shall pass away.' How much it expresses! How chastening in the hour of pride! How consoling in the depths of affliction!" [Abraham lincoln]

Uchiha Name

"You're the only person I can count on my best friend. Please protect this village and the Uchiha name." [Uchiha Shisui]

Energy And Persistence Conquer All Things

"Energy and persistence conquer all things" [Benjamin Franklin]

Another Voyage

"If all do not join now to save the good old ship of the Union this voyage nobody will have a chance to pilot her on another voyage." [Abraham lincoln]

The Almighty Has His Own Purposes

"Neither party expected for the war, the magnitude, or the duration, which it has already attained. Neither anticipated that the cause of the conflict might cease with, or even before, the conflict itself should cease. Each looked for an easier triumph, and a result less fundamental and astounding. Both read the same Bible, and pray to the same God; and each invokes His aid against the other. It may seem strange that any men should dare to ask a just God's assistance in wringing their bread from the sweat of other men's faces; but let us judge not, that we be not judged. The prayers of both could not be answered; that of neither has been answered fully. The Almighty has His own purposes." [Abraham lincoln]

I Was Capable of Lots of Things

“My parents died trying to protect the village. To protect me! It only lasted a moment.. But in that moment they gave me something! They gave me the belief that I was capable of lots of things!” [Naruto Uzumaki]

Educate Your Children to Self-Control

"Educate your children to self-control, to the habit of holding passion and prejudice and evil tendencies subject to an upright and reasoning will, and you have done much to abolish misery from their future and crimes from society" [Benjamin Franklin]

All Men Are Created Equal

"I am not a Know-Nothing. That is certain. How could I be? How can any one who abhors the oppression of negroes, be in favor of degrading classes of white people? Our progress in degeneracy appears to me to be pretty rapid. As a nation, we began by declaring that "all men are created equal." We now practically read it "all men are created equal, except Negroes." When the Know-Nothings get control, it will read "all men are created equal, except Negroes and foreigners and Catholics." When it comes to this, I shall prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretense of loving liberty - to Russia, for instance, where despotism can be taken pure and without the base alloy of hypocrisy." [Abraham lincoln]

I Won't See

"If I had any regrets, it would be that I won't see Naruto grow up" [Uzumaki Kushina]

Early to Bed

"Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise" [Benjamin Franklin]

You Think Slavery is Right

"You think slavery is right and should be extended; while we think slavery is wrong and ought to be restricted. That I suppose is the rub. It certainly is the only substantial difference between us." [Abraham lincoln]

Stand With Anybody That Stands RIGHT

"Stand with anybody that stands RIGHT. Stand with him while he is right and PART with him when he goes wrong." [Abraham lincoln]

Every Effect Must Have Its Cause

"There are no accidents in my philosophy. Every effect must have its cause. The past is the cause of the present, and the present will be the cause of the future. All these are links in the endless chain stretching from the finite to the infinite." [Abraham lincoln]

My Hero

“I am trash for sure.. But Obito.. you’ve always been my hero.” [Hatake Kakashi]

Keep in The Sunlight

"Do not anticipate trouble, or worry about what may never happen. Keep in the sunlight" [Benjamin Franklin]

The Privilege of The Writ of Habeas Corpus

"To state the question more directly, are all the laws, but one, to go unexecuted, and the government itself go to pieces, lest that one be violated? Even in such a case, would not the official oath be broken, if the government should be overthrown, when it was believed that disregarding the single law, would tend to preserve it? But it was not believed that this question was presented. It was not believed that any law was violated. The provision of the Constitution that 'The privilege of the writ of habeas corpus, shall not be suspended unless when, in cases of rebellion or invasion, the public safety may require it,' is equivalent to a provision---is a provision---that such privilege may be suspended when, in cases of rebellion, or invasion, the public safety does require it. It was decided that we have a case of rebellion, and that the public safety does require the qualified suspension of the privilege of the writ which was authorized to be made." [Abraham lincoln]
