Image
Elections belong to the people. It's their decision. If they decide to turn their back on the fire and burn their behinds, then they will just have to sit on their blisters.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
But in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or to detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Nothing is stronger than gentleness.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
It is not 'Is God on my side', but 'Am I on God's side'.

Abraham Lincoln

You cannot fail unless you quit.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
If this is coffee, please bring me some tea but if this is tea, please bring me some coffee.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
The Government should create, issue, and circulate all the currency and credits needed to satisfy the spending power of the Government and the buying power of consumers. By the adoption of these principles, the taxpayers will be saved immense sums of interest. Money will cease to be master and become the servant of humanity.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Military glory-that attractive rainbow, that rises in showers of blood-that serpent's eye, that charms to destroy.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
The president is the cube of ice one places in the pot of a houseplant, providing a steady amount of nourishment over the course of a hot day. A good description of the job and also a fantastic bit of practical household advice.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I am busily engaged in the study of the Bible. I believe it is God's word because it finds me where I am.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
When I go hear a man speak, I like to hear him speak like he's fighting a swarm of bees.

The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.
