More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
My experience has taught me that a man who has no vices has damned few virtues.
Abraham Lincoln
As a general rule never take your whole fee in advance, nor any more than a small retainer. When fully paid beforehand, you are more than a common mortal if you can feel the same interest in the case, as if something was still in prospect for you, as well as for your client.
Abraham Lincoln
The people themselves, and not their servants, can safely reverse their own deliberate decisions.
Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
the better angels of our nature
Abraham Lincoln
And whereas this House desires to obtain a full knowledge of all the facts which go to establish whether the particular spot of soil which the blood of our citizens was so shed was, or was not, our own soil.
Abraham Lincoln
If you have never failed you have never lived.
Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
It has long been recognized that the problems with alcohol relate not to the use of a bad thing, but to the abuse of a good thing.
Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
Every head should be cultivated.
Abraham Lincoln
Nor must Uncle Sam's Web-feet be forgotten. At all the watery margins they have been present. Not only on the deep sea, the broadbay, and the rapid river, but also up the narrow muddy bayou, and wherever the ground was a little damp, they have been, and made their tracks.
Abraham Lincoln
No one has needed favours more than I, and generally, few have been less unwilling to accept them but in this case, favour to me,would be injustice to the public, and therefore I must beg your pardon for declining it.
Abraham Lincoln
What is to be, will be, and no prayers of ours can arrest the decree.
Abraham Lincoln
A man watches his pear-tree day after day, impatient for the ripening of the fruit. Let him attempt to force the process, and he may spoil both fruit and tree. But let him patiently wait, and the ripe pear at length falls into his lap.
Abraham Lincoln
Some single mind must be master, else there will be no agreement in anything.
Abraham Lincoln
These men ask for just the same thing, fairness, and fairness only. This, so far as in my power, they, and all others, shall have.
Abraham Lincoln
Towering genius disdains a beaten path ... It scorns to tread in the footsteps of any predecessor, however illustrious. It thirsts for distinction.
Abraham Lincoln
You cannot have the right to do what is wrong!
Abraham Lincoln
