Abraham Lincoln...
...If this is coffee, please bring me some tea; but if this is tea, please bring me some coffee.
...If I were two-faced, would I be wearing this one?
...America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.
...Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.
...How many legs does a dog have if you call the tail a leg? Four. Calling a tail a leg doesn't make it a leg.
...I care not much for a man's religion whose dog and cat are not the better for it.
...I walk slowly, but I never walk backward.
...My dream is of a place and a time where America will once again be seen as the last best hope of earth.

Revolution is afoot!
And so through the night went his cry of alarm
To every Middlesex village and farm,
A cry of defiance, and not of fear,
A voice in the darkness, a knock at the door,
And a word that shall echo for evermore!
For, borne on the night-wind of the Past,
Through all our history, to the last,
In the hour of darkness and peril and need,
The people will waken and listen to hear
The hurrying hoof-beats of that steed,
And the midnight message of Paul Revere.
...From The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882)
Something absolutely stunning is happening in Massachusetts.
Revolution is afoot.
The special election to fill Ted Kennedy's seat, a seat the Democrats clearly thought was a slam-dunk "sure thing," is on the verge of going to Massachusetts Republican Scott Brown.
