More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
This nation under God
Abraham Lincoln
I always remember the prayers of my mother as they always forever.
Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
We want, and must have, a national policy, as to slavery, which deals with it as being wrong.
Abraham Lincoln
What are you gonna do for a face when the baboon wants his ass back?
Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
I do not deny the possibility that the people may err in an election but if they do, the true [cure] is in the next election, and not in the treachery of the person elected.
Abraham Lincoln
I have not permitted myself, gentlemen, to conclude that I am the best man in the country but I am reminded, in this connection, of a story of an old Dutch farmer, who remarked to a companion once that it was not best to swap horses when crossing streams.
Abraham Lincoln
I never knew a man who wished to be himself a slave. Consider if you know any good thing, that no man desires for himself.
Abraham Lincoln
In law it is good policy to never plead what you need not, lest you oblige yourself to prove what you can not.
Abraham Lincoln
It is a pleasure to be able to quote lines to fit any occasion.
Abraham Lincoln
But let the past as nothing be. For the future my view is that the fight must go on.
Abraham Lincoln
I will either be America's greatest president or its last.
Abraham Lincoln
