    “This declared indifference, but as I must think, covert real zeal for the spread of slavery, I can not but hate. I hate it because of the monstrous injustice of slavery itself. I hate it because it deprives our republican example of its just influence in the world ... and especially because it forces so many really good men amongst ourselves into an open war with the very fundamental principles of civil liberty.”
    —Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

    “Flowers so strictly belong to youth, that we adult men soon come to feel, that their beautiful generations concern not us: we have had our day; now let the children have theirs. The flowers jilt us, and we are old bachelors with our ridiculous tenderness.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “St. Teresa of Avila described our life in this world as like a night at a second-class hotel.”
    —Malcolm Muggeridge (1903–1990)
