More quotes by Abraham Lincoln

Image
Such will be a great lesson of peace: teaching men that what they cannot take by an election, neither can they take it by war.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
War, at the best, is terrible, and this war of ours, in its magnitude and in its duration, is one of the most terrible.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Now, and ever, I shall do all in my power for peace, consistently with the maintenance of government.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
You say you will not fight to free negroes. Some of them seem willing to fight for you but, no matter. Fight you, then exclusively to save the Union.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
If at any time all labour should cease, and all existing provisions be equally divided among the people, at the end of a single year there could scarcely be one human being left alive--all would have perished by want of subsistence.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
As labor is the common burden of our race, so the effort of some to shift their share of the burden onto the shoulders of others is the great durable curse of the race.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
All my life I have tried to pluck a thistle and plant a flower wherever the flower would grow in thought and mind.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
If i get 8 hours to cut a tree i'll spend 7 hours to sharp my knife.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
There are no accidents in my philosophy. Every effect must have its cause. The past is the cause of the present, and the present will be the cause of the future. All these are links in the endless chain stretching from the finite to the infinite.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Free labor has the inspiration of hope pure slavery has no hope.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Now, at the end of three years struggle the nation's condition is not what either party, or any man devised, or expected. God alone can claim it.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
But for that Book, we could not know right from wrong.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Extemporaneous speaking should be practised and cultivated. It is the lawyer's avenue to the public.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I am glad to see that a system of labor prevails under which laborers can strike when they want to.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I failed, I failed, and that is about all that can be said about it.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
When I got him out he was near froze solid and shivering. He was shaking so hard that I wasted half a glass of whiskey trying to aim it for his mouth. Must have got enough of it into him, though, since it did seem to bring him back to life.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
The trouble with too many people is they believe the realm of truth always lies within their vision.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I don't like that man. I must get to know him better.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Suspicions which may be unjust need not be stated.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
[If not re-elected in 1864] then it will be my duty to so co-operate with the President elect, as to save the Union between the election and the inauguration as he will have secured his election on such ground that he can not possibly save it afterwards.
