More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
But let the past as nothing be. For the future my view is that the fight must go on.
Abraham Lincoln
I therefore consider that in view of the Constitution and the laws, the Union is unbroken and to the extent of my ability I shall take care, as the Constitution itself expressly enjoins upon me, that the laws of the Union be faithfully executed in all the States.
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
Labor is the great source from which nearly all, if not all, human comforts and necessities are drawn.
Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
What is conservatism? Is it not the adherence to the old and tried against the new and untried?
Abraham Lincoln

The world has never had a good definition of the word liberty
Abraham Lincoln
When you lack interest in the case the job will very likely lack skill and diligence in the performance.
Abraham Lincoln
Every man has a right to be equal with every other man.
Abraham Lincoln
The better part of one's life consists of his friendships.
Abraham Lincoln
I think to lose Kentucky is nearly the same as to lose the whole game.
Abraham Lincoln
I have seen your despatch expressing your unwillingness to break your hold where you are. Neither am I willing. Hold on with a bull-dog gripe, and chew & choke, as much as possible.
Abraham Lincoln
Every man's happiness is his own responsibility.
Abraham Lincoln
We were proclaiming ourselves political hypocrites before the world, by thus fostering Human Slavery and proclaiming ourselves, at the same time, the sole friends of Human Freedom.
Abraham Lincoln
When the white man governs himself, that is self-government but when he governs himself and also governs another man, that is more than self-government-that is despotism.
Abraham Lincoln
Capital has its proper place and is entitled to every protection. The wages of men should be recognized in the structure of and in the social order as more important than the wages of money [interest].
Abraham Lincoln
Military necessity does not admit of cruelty - that is, the infliction of suffering for the sake of suffering or for revenge, . . . nor of torture to extort confessions.
