President Lincoln:
"With malice toward 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."
-- Second Inaugural Address, March 4, 1865.

President Washington:
"If the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter."

"Laws made by common consent must not be trampled on by individuals."

"Liberty, when it begins to take root, is a plant of rapid growth."

"The Constitution is the guide which I never will abandon."

"...if we desire to secure peace, ... it must be known, that we are at all times ready for War."
