More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
I like to see a man proud of the place in which he lives. I like to see a man live so that his place will be proud of him.
Abraham Lincoln
Again I admonish you not to be turned from your stern purpose of defending your beloved country and its free institutions by any arguments urged by ambitious and designing men, but stand fast to the Union and the old flag.
Abraham Lincoln
I turn, then, and look to the American people and to that God who has never forsaken them.
Abraham Lincoln
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.
Abraham Lincoln
A child is a person who is going to carry on what you have started ... the fate of humanity is in his hands.
Abraham Lincoln
Human nature will not change. In any future great national trial, compared with the men of this, we shall have as weak and as strong, as silly and as wise, as bad and as good. Let us therefore study the incidents in this as philosophy to learn wisdom from and none of them as wrongs to be avenged.
Abraham Lincoln
I have simply tried to do what seemed best each day, as each day came.
Abraham Lincoln
Familiarize yourselves with the chains of bondage and you prepare your own limbs to wear them. Accustomed to trample on the rights of others, you have lost the genius of your own independence and become the fit subjects of the first cunning tyrant who rises among you.
Abraham Lincoln
All true wisdom is found on T-shirts.
Abraham Lincoln
Most people are as happy as they want to be.
Abraham Lincoln
Bring me Longstreet's head on a platter and the war will be over
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.
Abraham Lincoln
None seemed to think the injury arose from the use of a bad thing but from the abuse of a very good thing
Abraham Lincoln
No state, upon its own mere motion, can lawfully get out of the Union. Plainly, the central idea of secession, is the essence of anarchy.
Abraham Lincoln
It is a sin to be silent when it is your duty to protest.
Abraham Lincoln
I freely acknowledge myself the servant of the people, according to the bond of service - the United States Constitution and that, as such, I am responsible to them.
Abraham Lincoln
The only security a man can ever have is the ability to do a job uncommonly well.
Abraham Lincoln
Without the assistance of that Divine Being...I cannot succeed. With that assistance I cannot fail.
Abraham Lincoln
in times like the present, men should utter nothing for which they would not willingly be responsible through time and eternity.
Abraham Lincoln
Have I not destroyed my enemy when I have made him into my friend?
Abraham Lincoln
