EXTRACTS from SPEECHES and LETTERS
From Letter to Cooper Institute, December 2, 1863
“Honor to the soldier and sailor everywhere who bravely bears his country’s cause. Honor also to the citizen who cares for his brother in the field, and serves, as he best can, the same cause–honor to him, only less than to him who braves, for the common good, the storms of heaven and the storms of battle.”
