More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
Character is like a tree and reputation like a shadow. The shadow is what we think of it the tree is the real thing.
Abraham Lincoln
You cannot build character and courage by taking away people's initiative and independence. You cannot help people permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves.
Abraham Lincoln
We believe that the spreading out and perpetuity of the institution of slavery impairs the general welfare. We believe - nay, we know, that that is the only thing that has ever threatened the perpetuity of the Union itself.
Abraham Lincoln
When you make it to the top, turn and reach down for the person behind you.
Abraham Lincoln
All creation is a mine, and every man a miner.
Abraham Lincoln
Any society that takes away from those most capable and gives to the least will perish.
Abraham Lincoln
I believe the Bible is the best gift God has ever given to man.
Abraham Lincoln
I believe, if we take habitual drunkards as a class, their heads and their hearts will bear an advantageous comparison with those of any other class. There seems ever to have been a proneness in the brilliant and warm-blooded to fall into this vice.
Abraham Lincoln
Love is the chain whereby to bind a child to its parents.
Abraham Lincoln
Every one desires to live long, but no one would be old.
Abraham Lincoln
If all men were just, there still would be some, though not so much, need of government.
Abraham Lincoln
I say now, however, as I have all the while said, that on the territorial question - that is, the question of extending slavery under the national auspices, - I am inflexible. I am for no compromise which assists or permits the extension of the institution on soil owned by the nation.
Abraham Lincoln
We seek not to overthrow the constitution, but to overthrow those who would prevert it.
Abraham Lincoln
I have always thought that all men should be free but if any should be slaves, it should be first those who desire for themselves, and secondly those who desire it for others. Whenever I hear anyone arguing for slavery, I feel a strong impulse to see it tried on him personally.
Abraham Lincoln
Destroy your enemy by making him your friend.
Abraham Lincoln
It is the eternal struggle between these two principles - right and wrong. They are the two principles that have stood face to face from the beginning of time and will ever continue to struggle. It is the same spirit that says, You work and toil and earn bread, and I'll eat it.
Abraham Lincoln
I know there is a God, and that He hates injustice and slavery. I see the storm coming, and I know that his hand is in it. If He has a place and work for me - and I think He has - I believe I am ready.
Abraham Lincoln
It is much easier to ride a horse in the direction it is going.
Abraham Lincoln
My father taught me to work he did not teach me to love it.
Abraham Lincoln
The worst thing you can do for anyone you care about is anything that they can do on their own.
Abraham Lincoln
