“Without this, as well as with it, we could have declared our independence of Great Britain; but without it, we could not, I think, have secured our free government, and consequent prosperity.

—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

“There is too much fathering going on just now and there is no doubt about it fathers are depressing.”

And fenced their gardens with the Redman’s bones;”
—Robert Lowell (1917–1977)
