More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
By all means, don't say, if I can, say I will.
Abraham Lincoln
I was raised to farm work.
Abraham Lincoln
We were proclaiming ourselves political hypocrites before the world, by thus fostering Human Slavery and proclaiming ourselves, at the same time, the sole friends of Human Freedom.
Abraham Lincoln
I never trusted a man who never smoked or drank.
Abraham Lincoln
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

Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
One section of our country believes slavery is right, and ought to be extended, while the other believes it is wrong, and ought not to be extended.
Abraham Lincoln
No policy that does not rest upon some philosophical public opinion can be permanently maintained.
Abraham Lincoln
Be with a leader when he is right, stay with him when he is still right, but, leave him when he is wrong.
Abraham Lincoln
There is more involved in this contest than is realized by every one. There is involved in this struggle the question whether your children and my children shall enjoy the privileges we have enjoyed.
Abraham Lincoln
I hope to stand firm enough to not go backward, and yet not go forward fast enough to wreck the country's cause.
Abraham Lincoln
Let us at all times remember that all American citizens are brothers of a common country, and should dwell together in bonds of fraternal feeling.
Abraham Lincoln
When you make it to the top, turn and reach down for the person behind you.
Abraham Lincoln
Everybody appreciates a compliment.
Abraham Lincoln
That everyone may receive at least a moderate education appears to be an objective of vital importance.
Abraham Lincoln
God must love the common man, he made so many of them.
Abraham Lincoln
