More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
My father taught me to work he did not teach me to love it.
Abraham Lincoln
All the armies of Europe, Asia and Africa combined, with all the treasure of the earth (our own excepted) in their military chest with a Buonaparte for a commander, could not by force, take a drink from the Ohio, or make a track on the Blue Ridge, in a trial of a thousand years.
Abraham Lincoln
The trouble with Hooker is that he's got his headquarters where his hindquarters aught to be.
Abraham Lincoln
The assertion that 'all men are created equal' was of no practical use in effecting our separation from Great Britain and it was placed in the Declaration not for that, but for future use.
Abraham Lincoln
It is not our frowning battlements...or the strength our gallant and disciplined army? These are not our reliance against a resumption of tyranny in our fair land... Our defense is in the preservation of the spirit which prizes liberty as the heritage of all men, in all lands, everywhere.
Abraham Lincoln
My wife is as handsome as when she was a girl, and I...fell in love with her and what is more, I have never fallen out.
Abraham Lincoln
With firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right.
Abraham Lincoln
I could not have slept tonight if I had left that helpless little creature to perish on the ground.
Abraham Lincoln
Upon the subject of education, not presuming to dictate any plan or system respecting it, I can only say that I view it as the most important subject which we as a people can be engaged in.
Abraham Lincoln
IF you are going to fight, don't let them talk you into negotiating. But, if you are going to negotiate, don't let them talk you into fighting.
Abraham Lincoln
You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot lift the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer.
Abraham Lincoln
I am approached with the most opposite opinions and advice, and that by religious men, who are equally certain that they represent the Divine will. I am sure that either the one or the other class is mistaken in that belief, and perhaps in some respects both.
Abraham Lincoln
If we cannot give freedom to every creature, let us do nothing that will impose slavery upon any other creature.
Abraham Lincoln
All creation is a mine, and every man a miner.
Abraham Lincoln
Friends, I agree with you in Providence but I believe in the Providence of the most men, the largest purse, and the longest cannon.
Abraham Lincoln
I wish to see, in process of disappearing, that only thing which ever could bring this nation to civil war.
Abraham Lincoln
I have simply tried to do what seemed best each day, as each day came.
Abraham Lincoln
That some achieve great success, is proof to all that others can achieve it as well.
Abraham Lincoln
That our government should have been maintained in its original form from its establishment until now, is not much to be wondered at. It had many props to support it through that period, which now are decayed, and crumbled away. Through that period, it was felt by all, to be an undecided experiment now, it is understood to be a successful one.
Abraham Lincoln
Bad promises are better broken than kept.
Abraham Lincoln
