Abraham Lincoln
If at any time all labour should cease, and all existing provisions be equally divided among the people, at the end of a single year there could scarcely be one human being left alive--all would have perished by want of subsistence.
Abraham Lincoln
Among free men there can be no successful appeal from the ballot to the bullet.

Abraham Lincoln
All that serves labor serves the Nation. All ^ that harms labor is treason to America. No line can be drawn between these two. If any man tells you he loves America, yet hates labor, he is a liar. If any man tells you he trusts America, yet fears labor, he is a fool. There is no America without labor, and to fleece the one is to rob the other.
Abraham Lincoln
The probability that we may fail in the struggle ought not to deter us from the support of a cause we believe to be just.
Abraham Lincoln
A man is about as happy as he makes up his mind to be.
Abraham Lincoln
You dislike the emancipation proclamation and, perhaps, would have it retracted. You say it is unconstitutional - I think differently.

One's only security in life comes from doing something uncommonly well.
Abraham Lincoln
