Horace Greeley Quotes

We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection.

Enough. We have no desire for revenge. We harbor no hatred towards you. We, like you, are people who want to build a home, to plant a tree, to love, live side by side with you in dignity, in empathy, as human beings, as free men. We are today giving peace a chance and again saying to you in a clear voice: Enough.
