Abraham Lincoln
You have to do your own growing no matter how tall your grandfather was.
Abraham Lincoln
Much is being said about peace and no man desires peace more ardently than I. Still I am yet unprepared to give up the Union fora peace which, so achieved, could not be of much duration.
Abraham Lincoln
In this troublesome world, we are never quite satisfied. When you were here, I thought you hindered me some in attending to business but now, having nothing but business---no variety---it has grown exceedingly tasteless to me. I hate to sit down and direct documents, and I hate to stay in this old room by myself.
Abraham Lincoln
I will learn, the opportunity will come.
Abraham Lincoln
A Prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles upon which our government was founded.
