Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln: An Oration The character of Abraham Lincoln stands so high above all possible wrong doing that honesty was never mentioned or thought of as a virtue in him. He was not only the best product of pure American civilization which his century produced, hut he was, all in all, the best public man and sincerest statesman who has ever figured in the destiny of this nation or in the history of the world. To all right-minded Americans he is the ripe and rounded product of what every man would like to be, and he will therefore remain, through all time, the symbol of perfected character. The whole world loves Lincoln because he did what the world knows was right, and he avoided doing what the world knows to be wrong, and it is therefore doubtful if any human being will ever again hold a similar position of greatness in a similar and transcendent epoch, or ever fulfill the world's expectations so completely, as did Lincoln.
