Lincoln Quote of The Week...

"They said, some men are too ignorant, and vicious, to share in government. Possibly so, said we; and, by your system, you would always keep them ignorant, and vicious. We proposed to give all a chance; and we expected the weak to grow stronger, the ignorant, wiser; and all better, and happier together."
- July 1st, 1854

I collect ‘em. I use one on my Indivisible group’s “Call to Action” email every week. Sometimes the hardest part is narrowing it down to one single quote every week.
