More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
Fellow-citizens, we cannot escape history. We of this Congress and this administration, will be remembered in spite of ourselves. No personal significance, or insignificance, can spare one or another of us. The fiery trial through which we pass, will light us down, in honor or dishonor, to the latest generation.
Abraham Lincoln
Character is like a tree, and reputation is like its shadow.
Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
I am now the most miserable man living. If what I feel equally distributed to the whole human family, there would not be one cheerful face on the earth. Whether I shall ever be better, I cannot tell I awfully forebode I shall not. To remain as I am is impossible. I must die or be better, it appears to me.
Abraham Lincoln
Nothing in this world is impossible to a willing heart.

Abraham Lincoln
I shall be most happy indeed if I shall be an humble instrument in the hands of the Almighty, and of this his almost chosen people.
Abraham Lincoln
You have confidence in yourself, which is valuable, if not an indispensable quality.
Abraham Lincoln
If the negro is a man, why then my ancient faith teaches me that ‘all men are created equal,' and that there can be no moral right in connection with one man's making a slave of another.
Abraham Lincoln
Let us strive on to finish the work we are in.
Abraham Lincoln
I like to see a man proud of the place in which he lives. I like to see a man live so that his place will be proud of him.
Abraham Lincoln
Bring me Longstreet's head on a platter and the war will be over
Abraham Lincoln
If i get 8 hours to cut a tree i'll spend 7 hours to sharp my knife.
