More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe.
Abraham Lincoln
I think that if anything can be proved by natural theology, it is that slavery is morally wrong. God gave man a mouth to receive bread, hands to feed it, and his hand has a right to carry bread to his mouth without controversy.
Abraham Lincoln
I shall not do more than I can, and I shall do all I can to save the government, which is my sworn duty as well as my personal inclination. I shall do nothing in malice. What I deal with is too vast for malicious dealing.
Abraham Lincoln
If we believe the Bible, we must accept the fact that, in the old days, God and his angels came to humans in their sleep and made themselves known in dreams.
Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
We hope all danger may be overcome but to conclude that no danger may ever arise would itself be extremely dangerous.
Abraham Lincoln
To stand in silence when they should be protesting makes cowards of men.
Abraham Lincoln
That everyone may receive at least a moderate education appears to be an objective of vital importance.
Abraham Lincoln
The Bible says somewhere that we are desperately selfish. I think we would have discovered that fact without the Bible.
Abraham Lincoln
While I have often said that all men out to be free, yet I would allow those colored persons to be slaves who want to be and next to them those white persons who argue in favor of making other people slaves. I am in favor of giving an opportunity to such white men to try it on for themselves.
Abraham Lincoln
Some day I shall be President.
Abraham Lincoln
Nothing valuable can be lost by taking time.
Abraham Lincoln
I see a very dark cloud on America's horizon, and that cloud is coming from Rome.
Abraham Lincoln
On the whole, my impression is that mercy bears richer fruits than any other attribute.
Abraham Lincoln
We all declare for liberty, but in using the same word we do not all mean the same thing.
Abraham Lincoln
Now, and ever, I shall do all in my power for peace, consistently with the maintenance of government.
Abraham Lincoln
I never did ask more, nor ever was willing to accept less, than for all the States, and the people thereof, to take and hold their places, and their rights, in the Union, under the Constitution of the United States. For this alone have I felt authorized to struggle and I seek neither more nor less now.
Abraham Lincoln
