It is my pleasure that my children are free and happy, and unrestrained by parental tyranny. Love is the chain whereby to bind a child to its parents.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
In regards to this great Book [the Bible], I have but to say it is the best gift God has given to man. All the good the Savior gave to the world was communicated through this Book. But for it we could not know right from wrong. All things most desirable for man's welfare, here and hereafter, are found portrayed in it.

All true wisdom is found on T-shirts.

To read in the Bible, as the word of God himself, that In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, [] and to preach there-from that, In the sweat of other mans faces shalt thou eat bread, to my mind can scarcely be reconciled with honest sincerity.

Commitment is what transforms a promise into reality.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
No State, upon it own mere motion, can lawfully get out of the Union. Resolves and ordinances to that effect are legally nothing. I therefore consider that the Union is unbroken. There needs to be no bloodshed or violence and there shall be none, unless forced upon the national authority.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
There is really no crisis except an artificial one...If the great American people will only keep their temper, on both sides of the line, the trouble will come to an end.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I am a patient man--always willing to forgive on the Christian terms of repentance, and also to give ample time for repentance. Still, I must save this government, if possible. What I cannot do, of course I will not do, but it may as well be understood, once for all, that I shall not surrender this game leaving any available card unplayed.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Gen. Schurz thinks I was a little cross in my late note to you. If I was, I ask pardon. If I do get up a little temper I have no sufficient time to keep it up.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
God bless the Methodist Church - bless all the churches - and blessed be God, Who, in this our great trial, giveth us the churches.

Character is like a tree, and reputation is like its shadow.

I am nothing, truth is everything.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I hold the value of life is to improve one's condition. Whatever is calculated to advance the condition of the honest, struggling laboring man, so far as my judgment will enable me to judge of a correct thing, I am for that thing.

The Autocrat of all the Russias will resign his crown, and proclaim his subjects free republicans sooner than will our American masters voluntarily give up their slaves.
