More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
The man does not live who is more devoted to peace than I am. None who would do more to preserve it.
Abraham Lincoln
If all men were just, there still would be some, though not so much, need of government.
Abraham Lincoln
This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it.
Abraham Lincoln
Government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the Earth.
Abraham Lincoln
I happen temporarily to occupy this big White House. I am living witness that any one of your children may look to come here as my father's child has.
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
We, on our side, are praying to Him to give us victory, because we believe we are right but those on the other side pray to Him, look for victory, believing they are right. What must He think of us?
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
Tangible language, which often tells more falsehoods than truths.
Abraham Lincoln
The Cause of civil liberty must not be surrendered at the end of one, or even one hundred defeats.
Abraham Lincoln
Don't swap horses in the middle of the stream.
Abraham Lincoln
I have had so many evidences of [God's] direction, so many instances when I have been controlled by some other power than my own will, that I cannot doubt that this power comes from above.
Abraham Lincoln
We must not promise what we ought not, lest we be called on to perform what we cannot.
Abraham Lincoln
I want in all cases to do right.
Abraham Lincoln
Extemporaneous speaking should be practised and cultivated. It is the lawyer's avenue to the public.
Abraham Lincoln
The leading rule for the lawyer, as for the man of every other calling, is diligence. Leave nothing for to-morrow which can be done to-day. Never let your correspondence fall behind. Whatever piece of business you have in hand, before stopping, do all the labor pertaining to it which can then be done.
Abraham Lincoln
I was losing interest in politics, when the repeal of the Missouri Compromise aroused me again. What I have done since then is pretty well known.
Abraham Lincoln
It is a good face. I am glad this war is over at last.
Abraham Lincoln
I am greatly obliged to you, and to all who have come forward at the call of their country.
Abraham Lincoln
Now I confess myself as belonging to that class in the country who contemplate slavery as a moral, social and political evil.
Abraham Lincoln
