Abraham Lincoln
Labor is the great source from which nearly all, if not all, human comforts and necessities are drawn.
Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
A long visit to a friend is often a great bore. Never make people twice glad.
Abraham Lincoln
Persuasion, kind, unassuming persuasion, should be adopted to influence the conduct of men. The opposite course would be a reversal of human nature, which is God's decree and can never be reversed.
Abraham Lincoln
Twenty-two years ago Judge [then-Senator Stephen] Douglas and I first became acquainted. We were both young then he a trifle younger than I. Even then, we were both ambitious I, perhaps, quite as much so as he. With me, the race of ambition has been a failure--a flat failure with him it has been one of splendid success.
Abraham Lincoln
God bless the soldiers and seamen, with all their brave commanders.
Abraham Lincoln
My great concern is not whether you have failed, but whether you are content with your failure.
Abraham Lincoln
