The revolution is not an apple that falls when it is ripe. You have to make it fall.
This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it. Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing government, they can exercise their constitutional right of amending it, or exercise their revolutionary right to overthrow it.
- Abraham Lincoln

3. Your thread title --
great quote. Is it yours, or do you know where it came from (or is it the first part of Lincoln's quote, and if so, where, when did he say/write it?)?
