‘You know, Hill, that this is the truth and the whole truth about that affair; but I dislike to appear as an apologist for an act of my own which I know was right. Keep this paper, and we will see about it.’

Mark Hill Lamon wrote that he "had often recalled President Lincoln from a pit of melancholy into which he was prone to descend, by a jest, a comic song, or a provoking sally of a startling kind; and Mr. Lincoln always thanked me afterward for my well-timed rudeness ‘of kind intent.’"

"So very difficult a matter is it to trace and find out the truth of anything by history." -- Plutarch
