Famous quotes containing the words north and/or american:
“Let north and south—let all Americans—let all lovers of liberty everywhere—join in the great and good work. If we do this, we shall not only have saved the Union; but we shall have so saved it, as to make, and to keep it, forever worthy of the saving. We shall have so saved it, that the succeeding millions of free happy people, the world over, shall rise up, and call us blessed, to the latest generations.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
“I will put in my poems, that with you is heroism, upon land and sea—And
I will report all heroism from an American point of view.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
