Abraham Lincoln Quotes, Believe Quotes, Silly Quotes

You say men ought to be hung for the way they are executing the law; I say the way it is being executed is quite as good as any of its antecedents.

Here in my heart, my happiness, my house. Here inside the lighted window is my love, my hope, my life. Peace is my companion on the pathway winding to the threshold. Inside this portal dwells new strength in the security, serenity, and radiance of those I love above life itself. Here two will build new dreams--dreams that tomorrow will come true. The world over, these are the thoughts at eventide when footsteps turn ever homeward. In the haven of the hearthside is rest and peace and comfort.
