Quote

Any people anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the right to rise up, and shake off the existing government, and form a new one that suits them better. This is a most valuable - a most sacred right - a right, which we hope and believe, is to liberate the world.

As a general rule never take your whole fee in advance, nor any more than a small retainer. When fully paid beforehand, you are more than a common mortal if you can feel the same interest in the case, as if something was still in prospect for you, as well as for your client.
Abraham Lincoln

The most reliable way to predict the future is to create it.
Abraham Lincoln

So viewing the issue, no choice was left but to call out the war power of the Government and so to resist force, employed for its destruction, by force, for its preservation.
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
Image
I believe I shall never be old enough to speak without embarrassment when I have nothing to talk about.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I have an irrepressible desire to live till I can be assured that the world is a little better for my having lived in it.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
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
Image
Many free countries have lost their liberty, and ours may lose hers but, if she shall, be it my proudest plume, not that I was the last to desert, but that I never deserted her.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
If there is anything that a man can do well, I say let him do it. Give him a chance.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I think the authors of that notable instrument [the Declaration of Independence] intended to include all men.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Don't pray that God's on our side, pray that we're on his side.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Intoxicated with unbroken success, we have become too self sufficient to feel the necessity of redeeming and preserving grace, too proud to pray to the God that made us.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I am a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended upon to meet any national crisis. The great point is to bring them the real facts.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
When I lay down the reins of this administration, I want to have one friend left. And that friend is myself.

When someone asked Abraham Lincoln, after he was elected president, what he was going to do about his enemies, he replied, I am going to destroy them. I am going to make them my friends.

I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true.
