The best way to get a bad law repealed is to enforce it strictly.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I am in favor of a national bank...in favor of the internal improvements system and a high protective tariff.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Any society that takes away from those most capable and gives to the least will perish.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I think that one of the causes of these repeated failures is that our best and greatest men have greatly underestimated the size of this question (slavery). They have constantly brought forward small cures for great sores-plasters too small to cover the wound. That is one reason that all settlements have proved so temporary-so evanescent.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
The Cause of civil liberty must not be surrendered at the end of one, or even one hundred defeats.
Abraham Lincoln

The trouble with too many people is they believe the realm of truth always lies within their vision.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
While I have often said that all men out to be free, yet I would allow those colored persons to be slaves who want to be and next to them those white persons who argue in favor of making other people slaves. I am in favor of giving an opportunity to such white men to try it on for themselves.

I'm a slow walker, but I never walk back.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
The people know their rights, and they are never slow to assert and maintain them, when they are invaded.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Lamon, that speech won't scour. It is a flat failure and the people are disappointed.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
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
Image
My friends I now leave, not knowing when, or whether ever, I may return, with a task before me greater than that which rested upon Washington. Without the assistance of that Divine Being, who ever attended him, I cannot succeed. With that assistance, I cannot fail.
Abraham Lincoln

Labor is prior to, and independent of, capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration.
