From his Eulogy on Lincoln

Quote:Eighty three years ago to-day two babes were born...One associated his name with the enfranchisement of labor, with the emancipation of millions, with salvation of the Republic. He is known as Abraham Linclon.The other broke the chains of superstition and filled the world with intellectual light and he is known to us as Charles Darwin.Because of these men the nineteenth century is illustrious.Every generation has it's heroes, it's iconoclasts, it's pioneers, it's ideals. The people have been and still are divided, at least into two classes - the many, who with their backs to the sunshine, worship the past and the few' who keep their faces to the dawn - the many, who are satisfied with the world as it is; the few, who labor and suffer for the future, for those to be, and who seek to rescue the oppressed, to destroy the cruel distinctions of caste, and to civilize mankind.Mr. P. The one thing of which I am positive is that there is much of which to be negative - Mr. P.The pain in hell has two sides. The kind you can touch with your hand; the kind you can feel in your heart...Scorsese's "Mean Streets"I came to kick ass and chew Bubble Gum...and I am all out of Bubble Gum - They Live, Roddy Piper
