More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
Teach hope to all, despair to none.
Abraham Lincoln
As to your kind wishes for myself, allow me to say I can not enter the ring on the money basis--first, because, in the main, it iswrong and secondly, I have not, and can not get, the money. I say, in the main, the use of money is wrong but for certain objects, in a political contest, the use of some, is both right, and indispensable.
Abraham Lincoln
If I am killed, I can die by once but to live in constant dread of it, is to die over and over again.
Abraham Lincoln
The only assurance of our nation's safety is to lay our foundation in morality and religion.
Abraham Lincoln
A noble spirit embiggens the smallest man.
Abraham Lincoln
You have to do your own growing no matter how tall your grandfather was.
Abraham Lincoln
Character is the tree, reputation is the shadow.
Abraham Lincoln
You can please some of the people some of the time, all of the people some of the time, some of the people all of the time, but you can never please all of the people all of the time.
Abraham Lincoln
If I could save the Union without freeing any slave, I would do it.
Abraham Lincoln
In order to win a man to your cause, you must first reach his heart, the great high road to his reason.
Abraham Lincoln
I laugh because I must not cry, that is all, that is all.
Abraham Lincoln
If you understand what you're doing, you're not learning anything.
Abraham Lincoln
To give victory to the right, not bloody bullets, but peaceful ballots only, are necessary.
Abraham Lincoln
War, at the best, is terrible, and this war of ours, in its magnitude and in its duration, is one of the most terrible.
Abraham Lincoln
Those who look for the bad in people will surely find it.
Abraham Lincoln
A good, real, unrestrained, hearty laugh is a sort of glorified internal massage, performed rapidly and automatically. It manipulates and revitalizes corners and unexplored crannies of the system that are unresponsive to most other exercise methods. With the fearful strain that is on me night and day, if I did not laugh I should die.
Abraham Lincoln
The health you enjoy is largely your choice
Abraham Lincoln
I hate it because of the monstrous injustice of slavery itself. I hate it because it deprives our republican example of its just influence in the world.
Abraham Lincoln
Our common country is in great peril, demanding the loftiest views, and boldest action to bring it speedy relief. Once relieved, its form of government is saved to the world its beloved history, and cherished memories, are vindicated and its happy future fully assured, and rendered inconceivably grand.
Abraham Lincoln
Anxiety beclouds the future.
Abraham Lincoln
