More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
It is to deny, what the history of the world tells us is true, to suppose that men of ambition and talents will not continue to spring up amongst us. And, when they do, they will as naturally seek the gratification of their ruling passion, as others have so done before them.
Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
If there is no military need for the building, leave it alone, neither putting anyone in or out of it, except on finding some one preaching or practicing treason, in which case lay hands on him, just as if he were doing the same thing in any other building.
Abraham Lincoln
As to your kind wishes for myself, allow me to say I can not enter the ring on the money basis--first, because, in the main, it iswrong and secondly, I have not, and can not get, the money. I say, in the main, the use of money is wrong but for certain objects, in a political contest, the use of some, is both right, and indispensable.
Abraham Lincoln
I trust that as He shall further open the way, I will be ready to walk therein, relying on His help and trusting in His goodness and wisdom.
Abraham Lincoln
To stand in silence when they should be protesting makes cowards of men.
