More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
Again, a law may be both constitutional and expedient, and yet may be administered in an unjust and unfair way.
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
Free labor has the inspiration of hope pure slavery has no hope.
Abraham Lincoln

The ant, who has toiled and dragged a crumb to his nest, will furiously defend the fruit of his labor, against whatever robber assails him. So plain, that the most dumb and stupid slave that ever toiled for a master, does constantly know that he is wronged.
Abraham Lincoln
No organic law can ever be framed with a provision specifically applicable to every question which may occur in practical administration. .. No foresight can anticipate nor any document of reasonable length contain express provisions for all possible questions.
Abraham Lincoln
A capacity and taste for reading gives access to whatever has already been discovered by others.
Abraham Lincoln
God is the silent partner in ALL great enterprises.
Abraham Lincoln
Our attitude is more honest and more consistent than our words.
Abraham Lincoln
I never encourage deceit, and falsehood, especially if you have got a bad memory, is the worst enemy a fellow can have. The fact is truth is your truest friend, no matter what the circumstances are.
Abraham Lincoln
Don't be fooled. I kept all my workout clothes in that top hat.
Abraham Lincoln
Be not deceived. Revolutions do not go backward.
Abraham Lincoln
