Image
Legislation and adjudication must follow, and conform to, the progress of society.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Violence begins where knowledge ends.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Military glory-that attractive rainbow, that rises in showers of blood-that serpent's eye, that charms to destroy.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Congressmen who willfully take action during wartime that damages morale and undermine the military are saboteurs and should be arrested, exiled, or hung
Abraham Lincoln
Image
The political horizon looks dark and lowering but the people, under Providence, will set all right.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Neither let us be slandered from our duty by false accusations against us, nor frightened from it by menaces of destruction ... nor of dungeons to ourselves. Let us have faith that right makes might, and in that faith, let us, to the end, dare to do our duty as we understand it.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I turn, then, and look to the American people and to that God who has never forsaken them.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
If this country is ever demoralized, it will come from trying to live without work.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I take it that it is best for all to leave each man free to acquire property as fast as he can. Some will get wealthy. I dont believe in a law to prevent a man from getting rich it would do more harm than good.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I have stepped out upon this platform that I may see you and that you may see me, and in the arrangement I have the best of the bargain.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
All that serves labor serves the Nation. All ^ that harms labor is treason to America. No line can be drawn between these two. If any man tells you he loves America, yet hates labor, he is a liar. If any man tells you he trusts America, yet fears labor, he is a fool. There is no America without labor, and to fleece the one is to rob the other.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
The human mind is impelled to action, or held in rest by some power, over which the mind itself has no control.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
When I came of age I did not know much. Still somehow, I could read, write, and cipher to the Rule of Three.... The little advanceI now have upon this store of education, I have picked up from time to time under the pressure of necessity.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I desire so to conduct the affairs of this administration that if at the end... I have lost every other friend on earth, I shall at least have one friend left, and that friend shall be down inside of me.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
In your hands, my dissatisfied fellow-countrymen, and not in mine, is the momentous issue of civil war.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
You can tell the greatness of a man by what makes him angry
Abraham Lincoln
Image
When I go hear a man speak, I like to hear him speak like he's fighting a swarm of bees.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I told myself, Lincoln, you can never make a lawyer if you do not understand what demonstrate means. So I left my situation in Springfield, went home to my father's house, and stayed there till I could give any proposition in the six books of Euclid at sight. I then found out what demonstrate means, and went back to my law studies.

Submitted to the Sec. of War. On principle I dislike an oath which requires a man to swear he has not done wrong. It rejects the Christian principle of forgiveness on terms of repentance. I think it is enough if the man does no wrong hereafter.
Abraham Lincoln

God must love the common man, he made so many of them.
