More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
I hate it because of the monstrous injustice of slavery itself. I hate it because it deprives our republican example of its just influence in the world.
Abraham Lincoln
All that I am, or hope to be, I owe to my angel mother.
Abraham Lincoln
This is essentially a people's contest... whose leading object is to elevate the condition of men - to lift artificial weights from all shoulders - to clear the paths of laudable pursuit for all - to afford all, an unfettered start and a fair chance, in the race of life.
Abraham Lincoln
God is the silent partner in ALL great enterprises.
Abraham Lincoln
It has been my experience that folks who have no vices have very few virtues.
Abraham Lincoln
In the early days of the world, the Almighty said to the first of our race In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread and since then, if we except the light and the air of heaven, no good thing has been, or can be enjoyed by us, without having first cost labour.
Abraham Lincoln
God bless the soldiers and seamen, with all their brave commanders.
Abraham Lincoln
A man is about as happy as he makes up his mind to be.
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. Leaving the higher matter of eternal consequences, between him and his Maker, I still do not think any man has the right thus to insult the feelings, and injure the morals, of the community in which he may live.
Abraham Lincoln
I am not a very sentimental man and the best sentiment I can think of is, that if you collect the signatures of all persons who are no less distinguished than I, you will have a very undistinguishing mass of names.
Abraham Lincoln
No country can sustain, in idleness, more than a small percentage of its numbers. The great majority must labor at something productive.
Abraham Lincoln
It is a sin to be silent when it is your duty to protest.
Abraham Lincoln
A woman is the only thing I am afraid of that I know will not hurt me.
Abraham Lincoln
Quarrel not at all. No man resolved to make the most of himself can spare time for personal contention.
Abraham Lincoln
confused and Stunned, like a duck hit on the head.
Abraham Lincoln
By all means, don't say, if I can, say I will.
Abraham Lincoln
It is much easier to ride a horse in the direction it is going.
Abraham Lincoln
Determine that the thing can and shall be done and then... find the way.
Abraham Lincoln
When I am getting ready to reason with a man, I spend one-third of my time thinking about myself and what I am going to say and two-thirds about him and what he is going to say.
Abraham Lincoln
Character is like a tree, and reputation is like its shadow.
Abraham Lincoln
