The only assurance of our nation's safety is to lay our foundation in morality and religion.
Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
Congressmen who willfully take action during wartime that damages morale and undermine the military are saboteurs and should be arrested, exiled, or hung
Abraham Lincoln
I certainly know that if the war fails, the administration fails, and that I will be blamed for it, whether I deserve it or not. And I ought to be blamed, if I could do better. You think I could do better therefore you blame me already. I think I could not do better therefore I blame you for blaming me.
Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
If a man will stand up and assert, and repeat and re-assert, that two and two do not make four, I know nothing in the power of argument that can stop him.
Abraham Lincoln
I believe it is an established maxim in morals that he who makes an assertion without knowing whether it is true or false, is guilty of falsehood and the accidental truth of the assertion, does not justify or excuse him.
Abraham Lincoln
The demon of intemperance ever seems to have delighted in sucking the blood of genius and of generosity. What one of us but can call to mind some relative more promising in youth than all his fellows, who has fallen a sacrifice to his rapacity?
Abraham Lincoln
We shall not fail - if we stand firm, we shall not fail. Wise counsels may accelerate, or mistakes delay it, but, sooner or later, the victory is sure to come.
Abraham Lincoln
I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true.
Abraham Lincoln
We must believe that He permits it [this war] for some wise purpose of his own, mysterious and unknown to us and though with ourlimited understandings we may not be able to comprehend it, yet we cannot but believe, that he who made the world still governs it.
Abraham Lincoln
