"With malice toward none; With charity for all; With firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work are in; To bind up the nation's wounds;

To care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and his orphan--

To do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves, And with all nations."

Abraham Lincoln
Second Inaugural Address
March 4, 1865
