“The Republican form of government is the highest form of government; but because of this it requires the highest type of human nature—a type nowhere at present existing.”

“I have heard, in such a way as to believe it, of your recently saying that both the Army and the Government needed a Dictator. Of course it was not for this, but in spite of it, that I have given you the command. Only those generals who gain success, can set up dictators.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
