Sad that the poster has to remind current Americans which one of the quotes is the crazy one.

NPR had a good one from Lincoln the other day.
“Both parties deprecated war; but one of them would make war rather than let the nation survive; and the other would accept war rather than let it perish. And the war came.”
Haunting, and prescient, and makes you yearn for the days where the president was expected to be a serious, level-headed person.

“As democracy is perfected, the office of the President represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day, the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last, and the White House will be occupied by a downright moron.”
