More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
It is rather for us here dedicated to the great task remaining before us, that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion.
Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
You must think I am a high-priced man.... Fifteen dollars is enough for the job. I send you a receipt for fifteen dollars, and return to you a ten-dollar bill.
Abraham Lincoln
If you intend to go to work there is no better place than right where you are if you do not intend to go to work, you can not get along anywhere.
Abraham Lincoln
Legislation and adjudication must follow, and conform to, the progress of society.
Abraham Lincoln
But, slavery is good for some people! ! ! As a good thing, slavery is strikingly peculiar, in this, that it is the only good thing which no man ever seeks the good of, for himself.
Abraham Lincoln
Everyone likes a good quote - don't forget to share.
Abraham Lincoln
You have more of a feeling of personal resentment than I have. Perhaps, I have too little of it, but I never thought it paid.
Abraham Lincoln
The ballot is stronger than the bullet.
Abraham Lincoln
