More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
I see a very dark cloud on America's horizon, and that cloud is coming from Rome.
Abraham Lincoln
As our case is new, so we must think anew, and act anew.
Abraham Lincoln
The trouble with too many people is they believe the realm of truth always lies within their vision.
Abraham Lincoln
My great concern is not whether you have failed, but whether you are content with your failure.
Abraham Lincoln
I am for . . . each individual doing just as he chooses in all matters which concern nobody else.
Abraham Lincoln
Slavery is founded in the selfishness of man's nature - opposition to it is his love of justice. These principles are an eternal antagonism and when brought into collision so fiercely, as slavery extension brings them, shocks and throes and convulsions must ceaselessly follow.
Abraham Lincoln
We here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain.
Abraham Lincoln
Surely He intends some great good to follow this mighty convulsion which no mortal could make, and no mortal could stay.
Abraham Lincoln
Public sentiment is everything. With public sentiment, nothing can fail. Without it, nothing can succeed.
Abraham Lincoln
I can't spare this man, he fights!
Abraham Lincoln
I am not in favor of making voters or jurors of Negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office.
Abraham Lincoln
There is more involved in this contest than is realized by every one. There is involved in this struggle the question whether your children and my children shall enjoy the privileges we have enjoyed.
Abraham Lincoln
Labor is the true standard of value.
Abraham Lincoln
I have had so many evidences of [God's] direction, so many instances when I have been controlled by some other power than my own will, that I cannot doubt that this power comes from above.
Abraham Lincoln
His argument is as thin as the homeopathic soup that was made by oiling the shadow of a pigeon that had been starved to death.
Abraham Lincoln
If you are resolutely determined to make a lawyer of yourself, the thing is more than half done already.
Abraham Lincoln
Our popular government has often been called an experiment. Two points in it our people have already settled, the successful establishing and the successful administering of it. One still remains, its successful maintenance against a formidable internal attempt to overthrow it.
Abraham Lincoln
I hold, that in contemplation of universal law, and of the Constitution, the Union of these States is perpetual.
Abraham Lincoln
Human nature will not change. In any future great national trial, compared with the men of this, we shall have as weak and as strong, as silly and as wise, as bad and as good. Let us therefore study the incidents in this as philosophy to learn wisdom from and none of them as wrongs to be avenged.
Abraham Lincoln
The press has no better friend than I am, no one who is more ready to acknowledge . . . its tremendous power for both good and evil.
Abraham Lincoln
