Abraham Lincoln: "Big enough to be inconsistent."

More from W.E.B. Du Bois on Lincoln:

"The scars and foibles and contradictions of the Great do not diminish but enhance the worth and meaning of their upward struggle: it was the bloody sweat that proved the human Christ divine; it was his true history and antecedents that proved Abraham Lincoln a Prince of Men."

Du Bois wrote this in 1922.
