With malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive[2] on to finish the work we are in; *** to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves, and with all nations. The strife of the election is but human nature practically applied to the facts of the case. What has occurred in this case must ever recur in similar cases. Human nature will not change. In any future great national trial, compared with the men[3] of this, we shall have as weak and as strong, as silly and as wise, as bad and as good. Let us, therefore, study the incidents of this as philosophy to learn wisdom from, and none of them as wrongs to be revenged. *** May not all having a common interest reunite in a common effort to (serve) our common country? For my own part, I have striven and shall strive to avoid placing any obstacle in the way. So long as I have been here I have not willingly planted a thorn[4] in any mans bosom.
