Lincoln (1988)

Patrick Rowe: Ward Hill Lamon

Quotes 

• Abraham Lincoln : The problem is not my getting killed, Ward, I expect I shall some day. There is no way to stop it. What I fear is being captured by rebels and held for ransom.

  Ward Hill Lamon : How much do you think the rebels would ask for you?

  Abraham Lincoln : It's not how much, it's how many. They want their prisoners of war back. One ugly President swapped for a 100,000 soldiers would be very tempting to 'ol Jeff Davis. You see, sooner or later they will run out of men and we won't. And that's how we'll win.
