More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
The shepherd drives the wolf from the sheep's for which the sheep thanks the shepherd as his liberator, while the wolf denounces him for the same act as the destroyer of liberty. Plainly, the sheep and the wolf are not agreed upon a definition of liberty.
Abraham Lincoln
If you once forfeit the confidence of your fellow citizens, you can never regain their respect and esteem. It is true that you may fool all of the people some of the time you can even fool some of the people all of the time but you can't fool all of the people all of the time. -Speech at Clinton, Illinois, September 8, 1854.
Abraham Lincoln

You think I could do better therefore you blame me already. I think I could not do better therefore I blame you for blaming me.
Abraham Lincoln
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
The best way to get rid of your enemies is to make them your friends.

. . . peace is a thing which a person must be willing to fight for . . .
Abraham Lincoln
To give victory to the right, not bloody bullets, but peaceful ballots only, are necessary.

Abraham Lincoln
