More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
God bless the soldiers and seamen, with all their brave commanders.
Abraham Lincoln
No State, upon it own mere motion, can lawfully get out of the Union. Resolves and ordinances to that effect are legally nothing. I therefore consider that the Union is unbroken. There needs to be no bloodshed or violence and there shall be none, unless forced upon the national authority.
Abraham Lincoln
It's bad. It's damned bad.
Abraham Lincoln
It is not 'Is God on my side', but 'Am I on God's side'.
Abraham Lincoln
When I have a particular case in hand, I have that motive and feel an interest in the case, feel an interest in ferreting out the questions to the bottom, love to dig up the question by the roots and hold it up and dry it before the fires of the mind.
Abraham Lincoln
Let us diligently apply the means, never doubting that a just God, in his own good time, will give us the rightful result.
Abraham Lincoln
Labor is the true standard of value.
Abraham Lincoln
And having thus chosen our course, without guile, and with pure purpose, let us renew our trust in God, and go forward without fear, and with manly hearts.
Abraham Lincoln
The negative principle that no law is free law, is not much known except among lawyers.
Abraham Lincoln
Nothing in this world is impossible to a willing heart.
Abraham Lincoln
For it has been said, all that a man hath will he give for his life and while all contribute of their substance the soldier puts his life at stake, and often yields it up in his country's cause. The highest merit, then is due to the soldier.
Abraham Lincoln
I have a congenital aversion to failure.
Abraham Lincoln
When I lay down the reins of this administration, I want to have one friend left. And that friend is myself.
Abraham Lincoln
What is to be, will be, and no prayers of ours can arrest the decree.
Abraham Lincoln
Did Stanton say I was a damned fool? Then I dare say I must be one, for Stanton is generally right and he always says what he means.
Abraham Lincoln
Don't swap horses in the middle of the stream.
Abraham Lincoln
Doubtless you begin to understand how disagreeable it is to me to do a thing arbitrarily, when it is unsatisfactory to others associated with me.
Abraham Lincoln
If elected I shall be thankful if not, it will be all the same.
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
You cannot have the right to do what is wrong!
Abraham Lincoln
