"When shall we expect the approach of danger? Shall some trans-Atlantic giant step the Earth and crush us in a blow? Never. All the armies of Europe and Asia could not by force take a drink from the Ohio River or make tracks on the Blue Ridge in the trial of a thousand years. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and its finisher. As a nation of free men we will live forever, or die by suicide." -- Abraham Lincoln | |||
