More quotes by Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln

The world has never had a good definition of the word liberty
Abraham Lincoln
I know there is a God, and that He hates injustice and slavery. I see the storm coming, and I know that his hand is in it. If He has a place and work for me - and I think He has - I believe I am ready.
Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
