Quote #179 from letter to John Stuart (January 23, 1841) by Abraham Lincoln as quoted in Collected Works of Abraham Lincoln. Volume 1
I am now the most miserable man living. If what I feel were equally distributed to the whole human family, there would not be a cheerful face on the earth. Whether I shall ever be better I can not tell; I awfully forebode I shall not. To remain as I am is impossible. I must die or be better, it appears to me.
