More quotes by Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
It is for us and our time...to say the right makes might.
Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
My experience has taught me that a man who has no vices has damned few virtues.
Abraham Lincoln
I have neither time nor disposition to enter into discussion with the Friend, and end this occasion by suggesting for her consideration the question whether, if it be true that the Lord has appointed me to do the work she has indicated, it is not probable that he would have communicated knowledge of the fact to me as well as to her.
Abraham Lincoln
As an individual who undertakes to live by borrowing, soon finds his original means devoured by interest, and next no one left to borrow from - so must it be with a government.
Abraham Lincoln
No country can sustain, in idleness, more than a small percentage of its numbers. The great majority must labor at something productive.
Abraham Lincoln
With this honor devolves upon you also a corresponding responsibility. As the country herein trusts you, so under God it will sustain you.
Abraham Lincoln
You are green, it is true but they are green also. You are all green alike.
Abraham Lincoln
As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master. This expresses my idea of democracy.

All that harms labor is treason to America.
Abraham Lincoln
