Abraham Lincoln Quotes, Country Quotes, Freedom Quotes

As a nation, we began by declaring that 'all men are created equal.' We now practically read it 'all men are created equal, except negroes.'

When it comes to this I should prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretense of loving liberty – to Russia, for instance, where despotism can be taken pure, and without the base alloy of hypocrisy.
