What is a
man but the sum of his thoughts?
Poetry:
- Abraham Lincoln:
- conclusion, First
Inaugural Address
-
- I am loath to close. 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.
