Let all Americans - let all lovers of liberty everywhere - join in the great and good work. If we do this, we shall not only have saved the Union but we shall have so saved it, as to make, and to keep it, forever worthy of the saving.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
If the negro is a man, why then my ancient faith teaches me that ‘all men are created equal,' and that there can be no moral right in connection with one man's making a slave of another.

Those who look for the bad in people will surely find it.

Repeal the Missouri Compromise - repeal all compromises - repeal the Declaration of Independence - repeal all past history, you still can not repeal human nature. It still will be the abundance of man's heart, that slavery extension is wrong and out of the abundance of his heart, his mouth will continue to speak.

I understand that it is a maxim of law, that a poor plea may be a good plea to a bad declaration.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Extemporaneous speaking should be practised and cultivated. It is the lawyer's avenue to the public.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Being President is like the man who was tarred and feathered and ridden out of town on a rail... A man in the crowd asked how he liked it, and his reply was that if it wasn't for the honor of the thing, he would much rather walk.
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
Image
In great contests each party claims to act in accordance with the will of God. Both may be, and one must be wrong.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I say now, however, as I have all the while said, that on the territorial question - that is, the question of extending slavery under the national auspices, - I am inflexible. I am for no compromise which assists or permits the extension of the institution on soil owned by the nation.

In any future great national trial, compared with the men of this, we shall have as weak, and as strong as silly and as wise asbad and good.
