...Let us discard all this quibbling about this man and the other man-this race and that race and the other race being inferior, and therefore they must be placed in and inferior position...Let us discard all these things, and unite as one people throughout this land, until we shall once more stand up declaring that all men are created equal.

Neither let us be slandered from our duty by false accusations against us, nor frightened from it by menaces of destruction ... nor of dungeons to ourselves. Let us have faith that right makes might, and in that faith, let us, to the end, dare to do our duty as we understand it.
Abraham Lincoln
Let no young man choosing the law for a calling for a moment yield to the popular belief -- resolve to be honest at all events and if in your own judgment you cannot be an honest lawyer, resolve to be honest without being a lawyer.
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
In all that people can do for themselves, government ought not to interfere.
Abraham Lincoln
I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country.
Abraham Lincoln
Reputation is like fine china: Once broken it's very hard to repair.
Abraham Lincoln
We can not have free government without elections and if the rebellion could force us to forego, or postpone a national election it might fairly claim to have already conquered and ruined us.
Abraham Lincoln
What has ever threatened our liberty and prosperity save and except this institution of Slavery?
Abraham Lincoln
The land, the earth God gave to man for his home ... should never be the possession of any man, corporation, (or) society ... any more than the air or water.
