More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
There are few things wholly evil or wholly good. Almost everything, especially of government policy, is an inseparable compound of the two, so that our best judgment of the preponderance between them is continually demanded.
Abraham Lincoln
I freely acknowledge myself the servant of the people, according to the bond of service - the United States Constitution and that, as such, I am responsible to them.
Abraham Lincoln
Towering genius disdains a beaten path ... It scorns to tread in the footsteps of any predecessor, however illustrious. It thirsts for distinction.
Abraham Lincoln
Now, at the end of three years struggle the nation's condition is not what either party, or any man devised, or expected. God alone can claim it.
Abraham Lincoln
The plainest print cannot be read through a gold eagle.
Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
It is not our frowning battlements...or the strength our gallant and disciplined army? These are not our reliance against a resumption of tyranny in our fair land... Our defense is in the preservation of the spirit which prizes liberty as the heritage of all men, in all lands, everywhere.
Abraham Lincoln
I do not think I could myself, be brought to support a man for office, whom I knew to be an open enemy of, and scoffer at, religion.
Abraham Lincoln
Character is like a tree, and reputation is like its shadow.
Abraham Lincoln
The Lord spared the fitten and the rest he seen fitten to die.
Abraham Lincoln
That on the first day of January, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred ans sixty-three, all persons held as slaves within any state or designated part of a State, the people whereof shall then be in rebellion against the United States, shall be then, thence forward, and forever free.
Abraham Lincoln
I claim not to have controlled events, but confess plainly that events have controlled me.
Abraham Lincoln
As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master. This expresses my idea of democracy.
Abraham Lincoln
We must not promise what we ought not, lest we be called on to perform what we cannot.
Abraham Lincoln
