More quotes by Abraham Lincoln

Image
We were proclaiming ourselves political hypocrites before the world, by thus fostering Human Slavery and proclaiming ourselves, at the same time, the sole friends of Human Freedom.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
With malice towards none with charity for all.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
As our case is new, so we must think anew, and act anew.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
We shall yet acknowledge His wisdom and our own error therein.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
If I gave McClellan all the men he asked for, they could not find room to lie down they'd have to sleep standing up.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory will swell when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Towering genius disdains a beaten path. It seeks regions hitherto unexplored.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Nowhere in the world is presented a government of so much liberty and equality. To the humblest and poorest amongst us are held out the highest privileges and positions. The present moment finds me at the White House, yet there is as good a chance for your children as there was for my father's.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
He will have to learn, I know, that all people are not just- that all men and women are not true. Teach him that for every scoundrel there is a hero that for every enemy there is a friend. Let him learn early that the bullies are the easiest people to lick.
Abraham Lincoln

It is not 'Is God on my side', but 'Am I on God's side'.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Did Stanton say I was a damned fool? Then I dare say I must be one, for Stanton is generally right and he always says what he means.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
While we are grateful to all the brave men and officers for the events of the past few days, we should, above all, be very grateful to Almighty God, who gives us victory.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I would rather be assassinated than see a single star removed from the American flag.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
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
Image
I must keep some standard of principle fixed within myself.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
All my life I have tried to pluck a thistle and plant a flower wherever the flower would grow in thought and mind.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
The fiery trials through which we pass will light us down in honor or dishonor to the latest generation.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
The Bible is not my book and Christianity is not my religion. I could never give assent to the long complicated statements of Christian dogma.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
. . . peace is a thing which a person must be willing to fight for . . .
Abraham Lincoln

Allow me to assure you, that suspicion and jealousy never did help any man in any situation.
