“ Certainly it is not so easy to pay something as it is to pay nothing, but it is easier to pay a large sum than it is to pay a larger one. And it is easier to pay any sum when we are able than it is to pay it before we are able. ”
Abraham Lincoln, State of the Union Address (1 December 1862). copy citation
