More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
I have always found that mercy bears richer fruits than strict justice.
Abraham Lincoln
The Union is much older than the Constitution. It was formed in fact, by the Articles of Association in 1774. It was matured and continued by the Declaration of Independence in 1776.
Abraham Lincoln
The leading rule for the lawyer, as for the man of every other calling, is diligence. Leave nothing for to-morrow which can be done to-day. Never let your correspondence fall behind. Whatever piece of business you have in hand, before stopping, do all the labor pertaining to it which can then be done.
Abraham Lincoln
The things I want to know are in books my best friend is the man who'll get me a book I ain't read.
Abraham Lincoln
We must not promise what we ought not, lest we be called on to perform what we cannot.
Abraham Lincoln
Fellow-citizens, we cannot escape history. We of this Congress and this administration, will be remembered in spite of ourselves. No personal significance, or insignificance, can spare one or another of us. The fiery trial through which we pass, will light us down, in honor or dishonor, to the latest generation.
Abraham Lincoln
All things desirable to men are contained in the Bible.
Abraham Lincoln
When Judge Douglas says that whoever, or whatever community, wants slaves, they have a right to have them, he is perfectly logical if there is nothing wrong in the institution but if you admit that it is wrong, he cannot logically say that anybody has a right to do wrong.
Abraham Lincoln
Remembering that Peter denied his Lord with an oath, after most solemnly protesting that he never would, I will not swear I will make no committals but I do think I will not.
Abraham Lincoln
But for that Book, we could not know right from wrong.
Abraham Lincoln
Without Divine assistance I can not succeed with it I can not fail.
Abraham Lincoln
As the problems are new, we must disenthrall ourselves from the past.
Abraham Lincoln
We cannot ask a man what he will do, and if we should, and he should answer us, we should despise him for it. Therefore we must take a man whose opinions are known.
Abraham Lincoln
I always [or often] walk slowly, but I never walk backwards.
Abraham Lincoln
If I were to try to read, much less answer, all the attacks made on me, this shop might as well be closed for any other business.
Abraham Lincoln
I think to lose Kentucky is nearly the same as to lose the whole game.
Abraham Lincoln
It's not me who can't keep a secret. It's the people I tell that can't.
Abraham Lincoln
For it has been said, all that a man hath will he give for his life and while all contribute of their substance the soldier puts his life at stake, and often yields it up in his country's cause. The highest merit, then is due to the soldier.
Abraham Lincoln
It is my pleasure that my children are free and happy, and unrestrained by parental tyranny. Love is the chain whereby to bind a child to its parents.
Abraham Lincoln
Money possesses no value to the state other than that given to it by circulation.
Abraham Lincoln
