Let every man remember that to violate the law, is to trample on the blood of his father, and to tear the character of his own, and his children's liberty.

The Almighty has His own purposes.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I am for the people of the whole nation doing just as they please in all matters which concern the whole nation for that of each part doing just as they choose in all matters which concern no other part and for each individual doing just as he chooses in all matters which concern nobody else.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
When I got him out he was near froze solid and shivering. He was shaking so hard that I wasted half a glass of whiskey trying to aim it for his mouth. Must have got enough of it into him, though, since it did seem to bring him back to life.

A man watches his pear-tree day after day, impatient for the ripening of the fruit. Let him attempt to force the process, and he may spoil both fruit and tree. But let him patiently wait, and the ripe pear at length falls into his lap.

Nowhere in the world is presented a government of so much liberty and equality. To the humblest and poorest amongst us are held out the highest privileges and positions. The present moment finds me at the White House, yet there is as good a chance for your children as there was for my father's.
Abraham Lincoln

If 600,000 people have to die in order for the nation to live, then 600,000 people will die.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Submitted to the Sec. of War. On principle I dislike an oath which requires a man to swear he has not done wrong. It rejects the Christian principle of forgiveness on terms of repentance. I think it is enough if the man does no wrong hereafter.

No man is good enough to govern another man without the other's consent.

Image
In the early days of the world, the Almighty said to the first of our race In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread and since then, if we except the light and the air of heaven, no good thing has been, or can be enjoyed by us, without having first cost labour.

May the Almighty grant that the cause of truth, justice, and humanity, shall in no wise suffer at my hands.

If once you forfeit the confidence of your fellow-citizens, you can never regain their respect and esteem.

Surely God would not have created such a being as man, with an ability to grasp the infinite, to exist only for a day! No, no, man was made for immortality.

Well, I suppose you know that men will stand a good deal when they are flattered.
