@durbin.senate.gov: “That is our hope and our challenge today: to heed those memories, to find the Lincoln spirit within us, and to save the new birth of freedom that was purchased with blood and sacrifice for us all.” We wish him the best as he completes his term and begins his next chapter!

“All I am is a citizen with, like you, a more than passing interest in the legacy and responsibility left by Abraham Lincoln... All we have to do is our job as citizens. Assuming enough of us do that, all will be well. Lincoln will provide the guideposts. But the time is now.” Sam Waterston
