More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
History is not history unless it is the truth.
Abraham Lincoln
Never do anything for anyone who can just as well do it themself
Abraham Lincoln
I am slow to listen to criminations among friends, and never espouse their quarrels on either side. My sincere wish is that both sides will allow bygones to be bygones, and look to the present & future only.
Abraham Lincoln
You can always lie to others and hide your actions from them... but you can not fool yourself
Abraham Lincoln
Must I shoot a simple-minded soldier boy who deserts, while I must not touch a hair of the wily agitator who induces him to desert? I think that in such a cse to silence the agitator and save the boy is not only constitutional but withal a great mercy.
Abraham Lincoln
I happen temporarily to occupy this big White House. I am living witness that any one of your children may look to come here as my father's child has.
Abraham Lincoln
I like to see a man proud of the place in which he lives. I like to see a man live so that his place will be proud of him.
Abraham Lincoln
Fondly do we hope, ferverently do we pray, that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away.
Abraham Lincoln
Trusting in Him, who can go with me, and remain with you and be every where for good, let us confidently hope that all will yet be well. To His care commending you, as I hope in your prayers you will commend me, I bid you an affectionate farewell.
Abraham Lincoln
People are just as happy as they choose to be.
Abraham Lincoln
I hope to stand firm enough to not go backward, and yet not go forward fast enough to wreck the country's cause.
Abraham Lincoln
Let reverence for the laws . . . become the political religion of the nation.
Abraham Lincoln
I go for all sharing the privileges of the government who assist in bearing its burdens.
Abraham Lincoln
What constitutes the bulwark of our own liberty and independence? It is not...the guns of our war steamers, or the strength of our gallant and disciplined army...our reliance is in the love of liberty which God has planted in our bosoms...
Abraham Lincoln
None seemed to think the injury arose from the use of a bad thing but from the abuse of a very good thing
Abraham Lincoln
Honor to the soldier and sailor everywhere, who bravely bears his country's cause. Honor, also, to the citizen who cares for his brother in the field and serves, as he best can, the same cause.
Abraham Lincoln
The master not only governs the slave without his consent, but he governs him by a set of rules altogether different from those which he prescribes for himself. Allow ALL the governed an equal voice in the government, and that, and that only, is self-government.
Abraham Lincoln
It is rather for us here dedicated to the great task remaining before us, that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion.
Abraham Lincoln
All that I am, or hope to be, I owe to my angel mother.
Abraham Lincoln
Women are the only people I am afraid of who I never thought would hurt me
