“America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.” – Abraham Lincoln

In this quote, Abraham Lincoln shows his feelings towards the country. He thinks that America is a great, free, and brave country. He says that no one will overcome us, but that only we can overcome ourselves. He is basically saying that our walls are impenetrable from the outside, but from the inside are like a soft tissue.
