...dat regering van die volk, deur die volk, vir die volk nie sal sterf op aarde nie.
~ Abraham Lincoln
- tydens 'n toespraak by die Gettysburgse Nasionale Begraafplaas, 19 November 1863

Demokrasie;

Ek is dikwels op my knieë gedryf deur die oorweldigende sekerheid dat ek nêrens elders het om heen te gaan nie. My eie wysheid, en die van die mense rondom my, het onvoldoende gelyk vir die dag.
~ Abraham Lincoln
