More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here so nobly advanced.
Abraham Lincoln
We cannot escape history.
Abraham Lincoln
With the fearful strain that is on me night and day, if I did not laugh I should die.
Abraham Lincoln
The Bible is not my book and Christianity is not my religion. I could never give assent to the long complicated statements of Christian dogma.
Abraham Lincoln
It has been said that one bad general is better than two good ones, and the saying is true if taken to mean no more than that an army is better directed by a single mind, though inferior, than by two superior ones at variance and cross-purposes with each other.
Abraham Lincoln
It will not do to investigate the subject of religion too closely, as it is apt to lead to infidelity.
Abraham Lincoln
A man is about as happy as he makes up his mind to be.
Abraham Lincoln
My experience has taught me that a man who has no vices has damned few virtues.
Abraham Lincoln
Let us strive on to finish the work we are in.
Abraham Lincoln
Much is being said about peace and no man desires peace more ardently than I. Still I am yet unprepared to give up the Union fora peace which, so achieved, could not be of much duration.
Abraham Lincoln
I am a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended upon to meet any national crisis. The great point is to bring them the real facts.
Abraham Lincoln
Every head should be cultivated.
Abraham Lincoln
I do not think I could myself, be brought to support a man for office, whom I knew to be an open enemy of, and scoffer at, religion.
Abraham Lincoln
A man has not the time to spend half his life in quarrels. If any man ceases to attack me, I never remember the past against him.
Abraham Lincoln
Reduce the supply of black labor by colonizing the black laborer out of the country, and by precisely so much you increase the demand for and wages of white labor.
Abraham Lincoln
He has got the slows, Mr. Blair.
Abraham Lincoln
No State, upon it own mere motion, can lawfully get out of the Union. Resolves and ordinances to that effect are legally nothing. I therefore consider that the Union is unbroken. There needs to be no bloodshed or violence and there shall be none, unless forced upon the national authority.
Abraham Lincoln
Things may come to those who wait, but only the things left by those who hustle.
Abraham Lincoln
The world has never had a good definition of the word liberty, and the American people, just now, are much in want of one. We all declare for liberty but in using the same word we do not all mean the same thing.
Abraham Lincoln
Labor is the great source from which nearly all, if not all, human comforts and necessities are drawn.
Abraham Lincoln
