"The world has never had a good definition of the word liberty, and the American people, just now, are much in want of one. 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 incompatable 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 incompatable names-liberty and tyranny." Abraham Lincoln 4.4000 average rating Rate this Quote

But I do mean to say that although bad laws, if they exist, should be repealed as soon as possible, still, while they continue in force, for the sake of example they should be religiously observed." Abraham Lincoln Rate this Quote
