"In giving we receive, in losing we find, and out of defeat we snatched our victory."
"As I came to power peacefully, so shall I keep it. That is my contract with my people and my commitment to God."
"As president of all my people, I will not betray the cause of peace by which I came to power."
“With malice towards none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us 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 for his orphans to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations.”
