Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
The Bible is not my book and Christianity is not my religion. I could never give assent to the long complicated statements of Christian dogma.
Abraham Lincoln
I know not how to aid you, save in the assurance of one of mature age, and much severe experience, that you can not fail, if you resolutely determine, that you will not.
Abraham Lincoln
We can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorn bushes have roses.
Abraham Lincoln
The blessing always comes back to the door of the author.
Abraham Lincoln
What has ever threatened our liberty and prosperity save and except this institution of Slavery?
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
