The struggle of today is not altogether for today - it is for a vast future also.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Now, at the end of three years struggle the nation's condition is not what either party, or any man devised, or expected. God alone can claim it.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
When I came of age I did not know much. Still somehow, I could read, write, and cipher to the Rule of Three.... The little advanceI now have upon this store of education, I have picked up from time to time under the pressure of necessity.
Abraham Lincoln

Friendship is the start for what you call love.
Abraham Lincoln

Whatever spiteful fools may say, Each jealous ranting yelper, No woman ever went astray, Without a man to help her

There is a vague popular belief that lawyers are necessarily dishonest. I say vague, because when we consider to what extent confidence and honors are reposed in and conferred upon lawyers by the people, it appears improbable that their impression of dishonesty is very distinct and vivid. Yet the impression is common, almost universal.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I am a patient man--always willing to forgive on the Christian terms of repentance, and also to give ample time for repentance. Still, I must save this government, if possible. What I cannot do, of course I will not do, but it may as well be understood, once for all, that I shall not surrender this game leaving any available card unplayed.
Abraham Lincoln

in times like the present, men should utter nothing for which they would not willingly be responsible through time and eternity.
Abraham Lincoln
Image

Too many piglets not enough tits.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
We can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorn bushes have roses.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
The people when rightly and fully trusted will return the trust.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it. Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing government, they can exercise their constitutional right of amending it, or exercise their revolutionary right to overthrow it.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I do not think I could myself, be brought to support a man for office, whom I knew to be an open enemy of, and scoffer at, religion. Leaving the higher matter of eternal consequences, between him and his Maker, I still do not think any man has the right thus to insult the feelings, and injure the morals, of the community in which he may live.
Abraham Lincoln

All things desirable to men are contained in the Bible.

President Lincoln was once criticized for his attitude toward his enemies. Why do you try to make friends of them? asked an associate. You should try to destroy them. Am I not destroying my enemies, Lincoln gently replied, when I make them my friends?
Abraham Lincoln
Image
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.

Honor is better than honors.
