Famous quotes containing the words lincoln, mystery and/or plays:

    Most governments have been based, practically, on the denial of equal rights of men ... ours began, by affirming those rights. They said, some men are too ignorant, and vicious, to share in government. Possibly so, said we; and, by your system, you would always keep them ignorant, and vicious. We proposed to give all a chance; and we expected the weak to grow stronger, the ignorant wiser; and all better, and happier together.
    —Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

    A proper secrecy is the only mystery of able men; mystery is the only secrecy of weak and cunning ones.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    He who plays advisor is no longer ambassador.
    Pierre Corneille (1606–1684)
