Nothing is more damaging to you than to do something that you believe is wrong.
Abraham Lincoln
Image

Abraham Lincoln
Image
I am now the most miserable man living. If what I feel were felt by the whole human race, there would not be one cheerful face left on earth.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Never do anything for anyone who can just as well do it themself
Abraham Lincoln
Image

I hold that while a man exists, it is his duty to improve not only his own condition, but to assist in ameliorating mankind.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I shall do less whenever I shall believe what I am doing hurts the cause and I shall do more whenever I shall believe doing more will help the cause. I shall try to correct errors when shown to be errors and I shall adopt new views so fast as they shall appear to be true views.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
The legalized liquor business is the tragedy of our civilization. Alcohol is the greatest and most blighting curse of our modern civilization. The liquor seller is simply and only a privileged malefactor - a criminal.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
We all declare for liberty, but in using the same word we do not all mean the same thing.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
All I ask for the negro is that if you do not like him, let him alone. If God gave him but little, that little let him enjoy.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
If you intend to go to work there is no better place than right where you are if you do not intend to go to work, you can not get along anywhere.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Always let your subordinates know that the honor will be all theirs if they succeed and the blame will be yours if they fail.
