The close of Lincoln's First Inaugural Address:
I am loth to close. We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory, stre
ching from every battle-field, and patriot grave, to every living heart and hearthstone, all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.
http://www.loc.gov/exhibits/treasures/trt0... For all of us here today, all good Democrats, and all good Americans, may we come together under the banner of "the better angels of our nature."
Peace.
