More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
Let every American, every lover of liberty, every well wisher to his posterity, swear by the blood of the Revolution, never to violate in the least particular, the laws of the country and never to tolerate their violation by others.
Abraham Lincoln
Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Abraham Lincoln
Great men are ordinary men with extra ordinary determination.
Abraham Lincoln
I have simply tried to do what seemed best each day, as each day came.
Abraham Lincoln
The Bible says somewhere that we are desperately selfish. I think we would have discovered that fact without the Bible.
Abraham Lincoln
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
Life is hard but so very beautiful
Abraham Lincoln
Being President is like the man who was tarred and feathered and ridden out of town on a rail... A man in the crowd asked how he liked it, and his reply was that if it wasn't for the honor of the thing, he would much rather walk.
Abraham Lincoln
Labor is the great source from which nearly all, if not all, human comforts and necessities are drawn.
Abraham Lincoln
I have not permitted myself, gentlemen, to conclude that I am the best man in the country but I am reminded, in this connection, of a story of an old Dutch farmer, who remarked to a companion once that it was not best to swap horses when crossing streams.
Abraham Lincoln
The ballot is stronger than the bullet.
Abraham Lincoln
The power confided in me will be used to hold, occupy and possess the property and places belonging to the government, and to collect the duties and imposts.
Abraham Lincoln
The Union is much older than the Constitution. It was formed in fact, by the Articles of Association in 1774. It was matured and continued by the Declaration of Independence in 1776.
Abraham Lincoln
A statesman is he who thinks in the future generations, and a politician is he who thinks in the upcoming elections.
Abraham Lincoln
You think slavery is right and ought to be extended while we think it is wrong and ought to be restricted. That I suppose is the rub. It certainly is the only substantial difference between us.
Abraham Lincoln
He who molds the public sentiment... makes statutes and decisions possible or impossible to make.
Abraham Lincoln
Twenty-two years ago Judge [then-Senator Stephen] Douglas and I first became acquainted. We were both young then he a trifle younger than I. Even then, we were both ambitious I, perhaps, quite as much so as he. With me, the race of ambition has been a failure--a flat failure with him it has been one of splendid success.
Abraham Lincoln
It is for us and our time...to say the right makes might.
Abraham Lincoln
I am in favor of a national bank...in favor of the internal improvements system and a high protective tariff.
Abraham Lincoln
To lead, you must touch men's hearts.
Abraham Lincoln
