More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
I wish all men to be free. I wish the material prosperity of the already free which I feel sure the extinction of slavery would bring.
Abraham Lincoln
I confess I hate to see the poor creatures hunted down but I bite my lip and keep quiet.
Abraham Lincoln
Such will be a great lesson of peace: teaching men that what they cannot take by an election, neither can they take it by war.
Abraham Lincoln
If frienship is your weakest point then you are the strongest person in the world.
Abraham Lincoln
As to the whiskers, having never worn any, do you not think people would call it a piece of silly affectation if I were to begin it now?
Abraham Lincoln
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
Hold on with a bulldog grip, and chew and choke as much as possible.
Abraham Lincoln
The time has come when I am for everybody fighting the rebels. Let Indians fight them let the Negroes fight them and if you have got any strong-legged jackasses in Iwoa that can kick rebels to death, they have my hearty consent.
Abraham Lincoln
In the first place, I insist that our fathers did not make this nation half slave and half free, or part slave and part free. I insist that they found the institution of slavery existing here. They did not make it so, but they left it so because they knew of no way to get rid of it at that time.
Abraham Lincoln
Most people are as happy as they want to be.
Abraham Lincoln
I would save the Union. I would save it the shortest way under the Constitution. The sooner the national authority can be restored the nearer the Union will be 'the Union as it was'.
Abraham Lincoln
Thoughtful men must feel that the fate of civilization upon this continent is involved in the issue of our contest. Among the most satisfying proofs of this conviction is the hearty devotion everywhere exhibited by our schools and colleges to the national cause.
Abraham Lincoln
Without the assistance of that Divine Being...I cannot succeed. With that assistance I cannot fail.
Abraham Lincoln
A good, real, unrestrained, hearty laugh is a sort of glorified internal massage, performed rapidly and automatically. It manipulates and revitalizes corners and unexplored crannies of the system that are unresponsive to most other exercise methods. With the fearful strain that is on me night and day, if I did not laugh I should die.
Abraham Lincoln
To secure to each laborer the whole product of his labor, or as nearly as possible, is a worthy object of any good government.
Abraham Lincoln
We shall meanly lose or nobly save the last hope of earth.
Abraham Lincoln
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
We have, as all will agree, a free Government, where every man has a right to be equal with every other man. In this great struggle, this form of Government and every form of human right is endangered if our enemies succeed.
Abraham Lincoln
Reputation is like fine china: Once broken it's very hard to repair.
Abraham Lincoln
And you are entirely free from head-ache? That is good -- good -- considering it is the first spring you have been free from it since we were acquainted. I am afraid you will get so well, and fat, and young, as to be wanting to marry again.
Abraham Lincoln
