“The only Ruler I Have is my Conscience.”

Posted on Updated on

Mrs. Lincoln said: “I told him once of the assertion I had heard coming from the friends of Seward, that the latter was the power behind the throne; that he could rule him. He replied, ‘I may not rule myself, but certainly Seward shall not. The only ruler I have is my conscience-following God in it-and these men will have to learn that yet.'”
