More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
The most reliable way to predict the future is to create it.
Abraham Lincoln
...I do not mean to say that this general government is charged with the duty of redressing or preventing all the wrongs in the world but I do think that it is charged with the duty of preventing and redressing all wrongs which are wrongs to itself.
Abraham Lincoln
Capital has its proper place and is entitled to every protection. The wages of men should be recognized in the structure of and in the social order as more important than the wages of money [interest].
Abraham Lincoln
He who molds the public sentiment... makes statutes and decisions possible or impossible to make.
Abraham Lincoln
Let not him who is houseless pull down the house of another, but let him work diligently and build one for himself, thus by example assuring that his own shall be safe from violence when built.
Abraham Lincoln
The love of property and consciousness of right and wrong have conflicting places in our organization, which often makes a man's course seem crooked, his conduct a riddle.
Abraham Lincoln
Whether or not the world would be vastly benefited by a total banishment from it of all intoxicating drinks seems not now an open question. Three-fourths of mankind confess the affirmative with their tongues, and I believe all the rest acknowledge it in their hearts.
Abraham Lincoln
Sir, my concern is not whether God is on our side my greatest concern is to be on God's side, for God is always right.
Abraham Lincoln
I am in favor of animal rights as well as human rights. That is the way of a whole human being.
Abraham Lincoln
What kills a skunk is the publicity it gives itself.
Abraham Lincoln
And then, there will be some black men who can remember that, with silent tongue, and clenched teeth, and steady eye, and well-poised bayonnet, they have helped mankind on to this great consummation.
Abraham Lincoln
It has been said of the world's history hitherto that might makes right. It is for us and for our time to reverse the maxim, and to say that right makes might.
Abraham Lincoln
The human mind is impelled to action, or held in rest by some power, over which the mind itself has no control.
Abraham Lincoln
We have, as all will agree, a free Government, where every man has a right to be equal with every other man. In this great struggle, this form of Government and every form of human right is endangered if our enemies succeed.
Abraham Lincoln
Every man has a right to be equal with every other man.
Abraham Lincoln
But the proclamation, as law, either is valid, or is not valid. If it is not valid, it needs no retraction. If it is valid, it can not be retracted, any more than the dead can be brought to life.
Abraham Lincoln
The demon of intemperance ever seems to have delighted in sucking the blood of genius and of generosity. What one of us but can call to mind some relative more promising in youth than all his fellows, who has fallen a sacrifice to his rapacity?
Abraham Lincoln
As a nation we began by declaring that all me are created equal. We now practically read it, all men are created equal except Negroes.
Abraham Lincoln
I therefore consider that in view of the Constitution and the laws, the Union is unbroken and to the extent of my ability I shall take care, as the Constitution itself expressly enjoins upon me, that the laws of the Union be faithfully executed in all the States.
Abraham Lincoln
Singular indeed the people should be writhing under oppression and injury, and yet not one among them to be found, to raise the voice of complaint.
Abraham Lincoln
