More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
If you once forfeit the confidence of your fellow citizens, you can never regain their respect and esteem. It is true that you may fool all of the people some of the time you can even fool some of the people all of the time but you can't fool all of the people all of the time. -Speech at Clinton, Illinois, September 8, 1854.
Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
In all that people can do for themselves, government ought not to interfere.
Abraham Lincoln
Those who look for the bad in people will surely find it.
Abraham Lincoln
When I came of age I did not know much. Still somehow, I could read, write, and cipher to the Rule of Three.... The little advanceI now have upon this store of education, I have picked up from time to time under the pressure of necessity.
Abraham Lincoln
If there is anything which it is the duty of the whole people to never entrust to any hands but their own, that thing is the preservation and perpetuity of their own liberties and institutions.
Abraham Lincoln
You can have anything you want, if you want it badly enough.
Abraham Lincoln
Both parties deprecated war but one of them would make war rather than let the nation survive and the other would accept war rather than let it perish. And the war came.
Abraham Lincoln
If they do kill me, I shall never die another death.
Abraham Lincoln
I fear explanations explanatory of things explained.
Abraham Lincoln
My Best Friend is a person who will give me a book I have not read.
Abraham Lincoln
The plainest print cannot be read through a gold eagle.
