Your rights end where my nose begins.
Abraham Lincoln

When Judge Douglas says that whoever, or whatever community, wants slaves, they have a right to have them, he is perfectly logical if there is nothing wrong in the institution but if you admit that it is wrong, he cannot logically say that anybody has a right to do wrong.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
That we we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain - that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom - and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
Image
Prosperity is the fruit of labor. It begins with saving money.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Slavery is founded on the selfishness of man's nature - opposition to it on his love of justice. These principles are in eternal antagonism and when brought into collision so fiercely as slavery extension brings them, shocks and throes and convulsions must ceaselessly follow.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I believe this Government cannot endure, permanently half slave and half free.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory will swell when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Nobody has ever expected me to be President. In my poor, lean, lank face, nobody has ever seen that any cabbages were sprouting out.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Common looking people are the best in the world: that is the reason the Lord makes so many of them.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
It is a pleasure to be able to quote lines to fit any occasion.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
And whereas this House desires to obtain a full knowledge of all the facts which go to establish whether the particular spot of soil which the blood of our citizens was so shed was, or was not, our own soil.
Abraham Lincoln

It has been my experience that folks who have no vices have very few virtues.
