About This Quote
Abraham Lincoln, the 16th president of the United States, said this in a speech he gave at the dedication of a Soldiers’ National Cemetery at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. In it, Lincoln expressed his belief that the time was coming when God would not be understood as a wrathful deity but as a loving Father who cares for all people.
