More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
If both factions, or neither, shall abuse you, you will probably be about right. Beware of being assailed by one and praised by the other.
Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
You are ambitious, which, within reasonable bounds, does good rather than harm.
Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
I will say, then, that I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races: that I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of making voters or jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people.
Abraham Lincoln
I am very little inclined on any occasion to say anything unless I hope to produce some good by it.
Abraham Lincoln
Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior ofcapital, and deserves muchthe higher consideration.
Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
People are just as happy as they choose to be.
Abraham Lincoln
So plain that no one, high or low, ever does mistake it, except in a plainly selfish way for although volume upon volume is written to prove slavery a very good thing, we never hear of the man who wishes to take the good of it, by being a slave himself.
Abraham Lincoln
I have seen your despatch expressing your unwillingness to break your hold where you are. Neither am I willing. Hold on with a bull-dog gripe, and chew & choke, as much as possible.
Abraham Lincoln
Beware of rashness, but with energy and sleepless vigilance go forward and give us victories.
Abraham Lincoln
I have an irrepressible desire to live till I can be assured that the world is a little better for my having lived in it.
Abraham Lincoln
He who sees cruelty and does nothing about it is himself cruel.
Abraham Lincoln
Whether you look for the good or look for the bad in a person, you'll find it. A. Lincoln
