The following post, offered in commemoration of Abraham
Lincoln’s birthday on February 12, is a quote by
Lincoln about George Washington:
“Washington is the mightiest name of earth–long since the mightiest in the cause of civil liberty, still mightiest in moral
reformation…To add brightness to the sun or glory to the
name of Washington is alike impossible. Let none
attempt it. In solemn awe pronounce the name, and in
its naked deathless spendor leave it shining on.”
