Lincoln

I like to see a man proud of the place in which he lives.  I like to see a man live so that his place will be proud of him. 

Abraham Lincoln

Whitman

O you youths, Western youths,
So impatient, full of action, full of manly pride and friendship,
Plain I see you Western youths, see you tramping with the foremost,
Pioneers! O pioneers!

Walt Whitman
