More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
I have always thought that all men should be free but if any should be slaves, it should be first those who desire for themselves, and secondly those who desire it for others. Whenever I hear anyone arguing for slavery, I feel a strong impulse to see it tried on him personally.
Abraham Lincoln
Let us do nothing through passion and ill temper.
Abraham Lincoln
...I do not mean to say that this general government is charged with the duty of redressing or preventing all the wrongs in the world but I do think that it is charged with the duty of preventing and redressing all wrongs which are wrongs to itself.
Abraham Lincoln
The negative principle that no law is free law, is not much known except among lawyers.
Abraham Lincoln
Things may come to those who wait, but only the things left by those who hustle.
Abraham Lincoln
I expect to maintain this contest until successful, or till I die, or am conquered, or my term expires, or Congress or the country forsakes me.
Abraham Lincoln
I am satisfied that when the Almighty wants me to do or not do any particular thing, He finds a way of letting me know it
Abraham Lincoln
The occasion is piled high with difficulty. We must rise to the occasion.
Abraham Lincoln
I like to see a man proud of the place in which he lives. I like to see a man live so that his place will be proud of him.
Abraham Lincoln
No man is good enough to govern another man without the other's consent.
Abraham Lincoln
Discipline is choosing between what you want now, and what you want most.
Abraham Lincoln
Must I shoot a simple-minded soldier boy who deserts, while I must not touch a hair of the wily agitator who induces him to desert? I think that in such a cse to silence the agitator and save the boy is not only constitutional but withal a great mercy.
Abraham Lincoln
Nor must Uncle Sam's Web-feet be forgotten. At all the watery margins they have been present. Not only on the deep sea, the broadbay, and the rapid river, but also up the narrow muddy bayou, and wherever the ground was a little damp, they have been, and made their tracks.
Abraham Lincoln
Through their deeds, the dead of battle have spoken more eloquently for themselves than any of the living ever could. But we can only honor them by rededicating ourselves to the cause for which they gave a last full measure of devotion.
Abraham Lincoln
I have never studied the art of paying compliments to women but I must say that if all that has been said by orators and poets since the creation of the world in praise of women were applied to the women of America, it would not do them justice for their conduct during this war.
Abraham Lincoln
Tangible language, which often tells more falsehoods than truths.
Abraham Lincoln
I am always for the man who wishes to work.
Abraham Lincoln
Fellow-citizens, we cannot escape history. We of this Congress and this administration, will be remembered in spite of ourselves. No personal significance, or insignificance, can spare one or another of us. The fiery trial through which we pass, will light us down, in honor or dishonor, to the latest generation.
Abraham Lincoln
Let us renew our trust in god, and go forward without fear.
Abraham Lincoln
Cling to liberty and right battle fro them leed for them die for them, if need be and have confidence in God.
Abraham Lincoln
