Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
Towering genius distains a beaten path.
Abraham Lincoln

If there is anything that links the human to the divine, it is the courage to stand by a principle when everybody else rejects it.
Abraham Lincoln
We must settle this question now -- whether in a free government the minority have the right to break it up whenever they choose. If we fail, it will go far to prove the incapability of the people to govern themselves.
Abraham Lincoln
To correct the evils, great and small, which spring from want of sympathy and from positive enmity among strangers, as nations or as individuals, is one of the highest functions of civilization.
Abraham Lincoln
But the proclamation, as law, either is valid, or is not valid. If it is not valid, it needs no retraction. If it is valid, it can not be retracted, any more than the dead can be brought to life.
Abraham Lincoln
Without Divine assistance I can not succeed with it I can not fail.
Abraham Lincoln
He who sees cruelty and does nothing about it is himself cruel.
Abraham Lincoln
