Lincoln's second inaugural stands as probably the best inaugural address ever, as well as being one of the best speeches ever delivered in the United States. The final paragraph, a single sentence beginning, With malice toward none, with charity toward all... is one of the most passages ever said by Abraham Lincoln.
