The Battle Between Good and Evil Is Always a Battle Between Freedom And Slavery

"That is the real issue ... It is the eternal struggle between these two principle - right and wrong - throughout the world. 

They are the two principles that have stood face to face from the beginning of time; and will ever continue to struggle. 

The one is the comon right of humanity and the other the divine right of kings. 

It is the same principle in whatever shape it develops itself. It is the same spirit that says, "You work and toil and earn bread, and I'll eat it." 

No matter what shape it comes, whether from the mouth of a king who seeks to bestride the people of his own nation and live by the fruit of their labor, or from one race of men as an apology for enslaving another reace, it is the same tyrannical principle."

--- Abraham Lincoln
