More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
Moral principle is a looser bond than pecuniary interest.
Abraham Lincoln
As a peacemaker the lawyer has superior opportunity of being a good man.
Abraham Lincoln
This is essentially a people's contest... whose leading object is to elevate the condition of men - to lift artificial weights from all shoulders - to clear the paths of laudable pursuit for all - to afford all, an unfettered start and a fair chance, in the race of life.
Abraham Lincoln
You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot establish sound security on borrowed money. You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than you earn.
Abraham Lincoln
Life is hard but so very beautiful
Abraham Lincoln
We must work earnestly in the best light He gives us.
Abraham Lincoln
The Cause of civil liberty must not be surrendered at the end of one, or even one hundred defeats.
Abraham Lincoln
Human nature will not change. In any future great national trial, compared with the men of this, we shall have as weak and as strong, as silly and as wise, as bad and as good. Let us therefore study the incidents in this as philosophy to learn wisdom from and none of them as wrongs to be avenged.
Abraham Lincoln
Teach hope to all, despair to none.
Abraham Lincoln
No client ever had money enough to bribe my conscience or to stop its utterance against wrong, and oppression. My conscience is my own - my creators - not man's. I shall never sink the rights of mankind to the malice, wrong, or avarice of another's wishes, though those wishes come to me in the relation of client and attorney.
Abraham Lincoln
If all men were just, there still would be some, though not so much, need of government.
Abraham Lincoln
The best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time.
Abraham Lincoln
I have come to the conclusion never again to think of marrying, and for this reason, I can never be satisfied with anyone who would be blockhead enough to have me.
Abraham Lincoln
In giving freedom to the slave, we assure freedom to the free.
Abraham Lincoln
The political horizon looks dark and lowering but the people, under Providence, will set all right.
Abraham Lincoln
When someone asked Abraham Lincoln, after he was elected president, what he was going to do about his enemies, he replied, I am going to destroy them. I am going to make them my friends.
Abraham Lincoln
Everybody likes compliment.
Abraham Lincoln
I know there is a God, and that He hates injustice and slavery. I see the storm coming, and I know that his hand is in it. If He has a place and work for me - and I think He has - I believe I am ready.
Abraham Lincoln
Any society that takes away from those most capable and gives to the least will perish.
Abraham Lincoln
In those days, our Declaration of Independence was held sacred by all, and thought to include all but now, to aid in the making the bondage of the negro universal and eternal, it is assailed, and sneered at, and construed, and hawked at, and torn, till, if its framers could rise from their graves, they could not at all recognize it.
Abraham Lincoln
