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
The matter of fees is important, far beyond the mere question of bread and butter involved. Properly attended to, fuller justice is done to both lawyer and client.
Abraham Lincoln
Law is nothing else but the best reason of wise men applied for ages to the transactions and business of mankind.
Abraham Lincoln
The press has no better friend than I am, no one who is more ready to acknowledge . . . its tremendous power for both good and evil.
Abraham Lincoln
To correct the evils, great and small, which spring from want of sympathy and from positive enmity among strangers, as nations or as individuals, is one of the highest functions of civilization.
Abraham Lincoln
Whether you look for the good or look for the bad in a person, you'll find it. A. Lincoln
Abraham Lincoln
Any people anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the right to rise up, and shake off the existing government, and form a new one that suits them better. This is a most valuable - a most sacred right - a right, which we hope and believe, is to liberate the world.
Abraham Lincoln
When I have a particular case in hand, I have that motive and feel an interest in the case, feel an interest in ferreting out the questions to the bottom, love to dig up the question by the roots and hold it up and dry it before the fires of the mind.
Abraham Lincoln
Every man is said to have his peculiar ambition.
Abraham Lincoln
Behind the cloud the sun is still shining.
Abraham Lincoln
Being President is like the man who was tarred and feathered and ridden out of town on a rail... A man in the crowd asked how he liked it, and his reply was that if it wasn't for the honor of the thing, he would much rather walk.
Abraham Lincoln
We cannot but believe that He who made the world still governs it.
Abraham Lincoln
If there is a worse place than Hell, I am in it.
Abraham Lincoln
I cannot bring myself to believe that any human being lives who would do me any harm.
Abraham Lincoln
The loss of enemies does not compensate for the loss of friends.
Abraham Lincoln
When the white man governs himself, that is self-government but when he governs himself and also governs another man, that is more than self-government-that is despotism.
Abraham Lincoln
In my entire life I have only met four perfect people... and I disliked them all.
Abraham Lincoln
A tendancy to melancholy...let it be observed, is a misfortune, not a fault.
Abraham Lincoln
The human mind is impelled to action, or held in rest by some power, over which the mind itself has no control.
Abraham Lincoln
He has a right to criticize, who has a heart to help.
Abraham Lincoln
