"I have stepped out upon this platform that I may see you and that you may see me, and in the arrangement I have the best of the bargain." Also by Lincoln, "I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live by the light that I have. I must stand with anybody that stands right, and stand with him while he is right, and part with him when he goes wrong." - Abraham Lincoln.
