Kevin GatesI hope I would not be so arrogant as to doubt anyone’s religion or belief.
Anthony HopkinsTo the best of my judgment, I have labored for, and not against, the Union. As I have not felt, so I have not expressed any harsh sentiment towards our Southern brethren.

Abraham LincolnBelief creates the actual fact.
