More quotes by 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.

Abraham Lincoln
The privilege of creating and issuing money is not only the supreme prerogative of government, but it is the government's greatest creative opportunity.
Abraham Lincoln
On the whole, my impression is that mercy bears richer fruits than any other attribute.
Abraham Lincoln
Nothing is stronger than gentleness.
Abraham Lincoln
A right result, at this time, will be worth more to the world, than ten times the men, and ten times the money.
Abraham Lincoln
A statesman is he who thinks in the future generations, and a politician is he who thinks in the upcoming elections.
Abraham Lincoln
All things desirable to men are contained in the Bible.
Abraham Lincoln
Remembering that Peter denied his Lord with an oath, after most solemnly protesting that he never would, I will not swear I will make no committals but I do think I will not.
