More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it. Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing government, they can exercise their constitutional right of amending it, or exercise their revolutionary right to overthrow it.
Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
No man is poor who has a Godly mother.
Abraham Lincoln
I have simply tried to do what seemed best each day, as each day came.
Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
My dream is of a place and a time where America will once again be seen as the last best hope of earth.
Abraham Lincoln
We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory will swell when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.
Abraham Lincoln
Few can be induced to labor exclusively for posterity - Posterity has done nothing for us
Abraham Lincoln
If any man tells you he loves America, yet hates labor, he is a liar. If any man tells you he trusts America, yet fears labor, he is a fool.
Abraham Lincoln
You are young, and I am older You are hopeful, I am not- Enjoy life, ere it grow colder- Pluck the roses ere they rot.
Abraham Lincoln
Liquor may have its defenders, but it has no defense.
Abraham Lincoln
