More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
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
So you're the little woman who wrote the book that made this great war!
Abraham Lincoln
Public sentiment is everything. With public sentiment, nothing can fail. Without it, nothing can succeed.
Abraham Lincoln
I never encourage deceit, and falsehood, especially if you have got a bad memory, is the worst enemy a fellow can have. The fact is truth is your truest friend, no matter what the circumstances are.
Abraham Lincoln
Character is like a tree and reputation like a shadow. The shadow is what we think of it the tree is the real thing.
Abraham Lincoln
There may sometimes be ungenerous attempts to keep a young man down and they will succeed too, if he allows his mind to be diverted from its true channel to brood over the attempted injury. Cast about, and see if this feeling has not injured every person you have ever known to fall into it.
Abraham Lincoln
If a man will stand up and assert, and repeat and re-assert, that two and two do not make four, I know nothing in the power of argument that can stop him.
Abraham Lincoln
But the proclamation, as law, either is valid, or is not valid. If it is not valid, it needs no retraction. If it is valid, it can not be retracted, any more than the dead can be brought to life.
Abraham Lincoln
No State, upon it own mere motion, can lawfully get out of the Union. Resolves and ordinances to that effect are legally nothing. I therefore consider that the Union is unbroken. There needs to be no bloodshed or violence and there shall be none, unless forced upon the national authority.
Abraham Lincoln
What I do say is, that no man is good enough to govern another man, without that other's consent. I say this is the leading principle - the sheet anchor of American republicanism.
Abraham Lincoln
The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here so nobly advanced.
Abraham Lincoln
We must not promise what we ought not, lest we be called on to perform what we cannot.
Abraham Lincoln
Politicians are a set of men who have interests aside from the interests of the people and who, to say the most of them, are, taken as a mass, at least one long step removed from honest men
Abraham Lincoln
I am the President of the United States of America, clothed in immense power! You will procure me these votes.
Abraham Lincoln
As we keep or break the Sabbath Day we nobly save or meanly lose the last best hope by which man rises.
Abraham Lincoln
I am very glad indeed to see you to-night, and yet I will not say I thank you for this call, but I do most sincerely thank Almighty God for the occasion on which you have called.
Abraham Lincoln
I want it said of me by those who knew me best, that I always plucked a thistle and planted a flower where I thought a flower would grow.
Abraham Lincoln
No organic law can ever be framed with a provision specifically applicable to every question which may occur in practical administration. .. No foresight can anticipate nor any document of reasonable length contain express provisions for all possible questions.
Abraham Lincoln
If i get 8 hours to cut a tree i'll spend 7 hours to sharp my knife.
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
