On the founding fathers of United States of America
By Abraham Lincoln, August l7, l858
"Wise statesmen as they were, they knew the tendency of economic prosperity to breed tyrants, so they established these great self-evident truths, that when in the distant future some man, some faction, some interest, should set up the doctrine that none but rich men, or none but white men, were entitled to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, their posterity might look up again to the Declaration of Independence...........So that truth, and justice, and mercy, and all the humane and Christian virtues might not be extinguished from the land."
