#Lincoln "A government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the Earth"... "A house divided against itself cannot stand."

#Nixon "I am not a crook" "When the President does it, that means that it is not illegal" "...others may hate you but those who hate you don't win unless you hate them. And then you destroy yourself."

#Trump "Despite the disgusting, illegal and unwarranted Witch Hunt, we have had the most successful first 17 month Administration in U.S. history - by far! Sorry to the Fake News Media and “Haters,” but that’s the way it is! "All of the women on 'The Apprentice' flirted with me — consciously or unconsciously. That's to be expected. A sexual dynamic is always present between people unless you are asexual."
