With malice towards none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right,
as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in;
to bind up the nation's wounds; to care for him who shall have borne the battle,
and for his widow and his orphan -- to do all which may achieve and cherish a
just and lasting peace among ourselves, and with all nations.
- Abraham Lincoln,
Second Inaugural Address, March 4, 1865
