Abraham Lincoln
I am now the most miserable man living. If what I feel equally distributed to the whole human family, there would not be one cheerful face on the earth. Whether I shall ever be better, I cannot tell I awfully forebode I shall not. To remain as I am is impossible. I must die or be better, it appears to me.
Abraham Lincoln
The good old maxims of the Bible are applicable, and truly applicable to human affairs, and in this as in other things, we may say here that he who is not for us is against us he would gathereth not with us scattereth.
Abraham Lincoln
When I hear a man preach, I like to see him act as if he were fighting bees.

Abraham Lincoln
What is conservatism? Is it not the adherence to the old and tried against the new and untried?
Abraham Lincoln
I told myself, Lincoln, you can never make a lawyer if you do not understand what demonstrate means. So I left my situation in Springfield, went home to my father's house, and stayed there till I could give any proposition in the six books of Euclid at sight. I then found out what demonstrate means, and went back to my law studies.
Abraham Lincoln
It is to deny, what the history of the world tells us is true, to suppose that men of ambition and talents will not continue to spring up amongst us. And, when they do, they will as naturally seek the gratification of their ruling passion, as others have so done before them.
Abraham Lincoln
God is the silent partner in ALL great enterprises.
Abraham Lincoln
To stand in silence when they should be protesting makes cowards of men.
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
I am glad to see that a system of labor prevails under which laborers can strike when they want to.
Abraham Lincoln
I never did ask more, nor ever was willing to accept less, than for all the States, and the people thereof, to take and hold their places, and their rights, in the Union, under the Constitution of the United States. For this alone have I felt authorized to struggle and I seek neither more nor less now.
Abraham Lincoln
