“Independence, they find that those old men say that ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal,’ and then they feel that that moral sentiment taught in that day evidences their relation to those men; that it is the father of all moral principal in them, and that they have a right to claim it as though they were blood of the blood, and flesh of the flesh, of the men who wrote that Declaration; and so they are.”

“That is the electric cord in the Declaration that links the hearts of patriotic and liberty-loving men together; that will link those patriotic hearts as long as the love of freedom exists in the mind of men throughout the world. “My friend has said to me that I am a poor hand to quote Scripture; I will try it again, however. It is said in one of the admonitions of our Lord,” ‘As your Father in heaven is perfect, be ye also perfect.’
– Abraham Lincoln, 1858
