« The dogmas of the quiet past, are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise — with the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew, and act anew. We must disenthrall ourselves, and then we shall save our country »
Abraham Lincoln, Annual message to Congress, 01/12/1862 (citation exhumée par L. Bouvet sur son mur Facebook)
