Image
Almost every thing, especially of governmental policy, is an inseparable compound of the two [good and evil].
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Lonely men seek companionship. Lonely women sit at home and wait. They never meet.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I am struggling to maintain the government, not to overthrow it. I am struggling especially to prevent others from overthrowing it.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
If there is no military need for the building, leave it alone, neither putting anyone in or out of it, except on finding some one preaching or practicing treason, in which case lay hands on him, just as if he were doing the same thing in any other building.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Fellow-citizens, we cannot escape history. We of this Congress and this administration, will be remembered in spite of ourselves. No personal significance, or insignificance, can spare one or another of us. The fiery trial through which we pass, will light us down, in honor or dishonor, to the latest generation.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
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.

An allusion has been made to the Homestead Law. I think it worthy of consideration, and that the wild lands of the country should be distributed so that every man should have the means and opportunity of benefitting his condition.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
He will have to learn, I know, that all people are not just- that all men and women are not true. Teach him that for every scoundrel there is a hero that for every enemy there is a friend. Let him learn early that the bullies are the easiest people to lick.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
We must free the slaves or be ourselves subdued.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
If both factions, or neither, shall abuse you, you will probably be about right. Beware of being assailed by one and praised by the other.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
My old father used to have a saying: If you make a bad bargain, hug it all the tighter.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
You have to do your own growing no matter how tall your grandfather was.
Abraham Lincoln

Writing, the art of communicating thoughts to the mind through the eye, is the great invention of the world.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
The world has never had a good definition of the word liberty
Abraham Lincoln
Image
How many legs does a dog have if you call the tail a leg? Four. Calling a tail a leg doesn't make it a leg.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
My earlier views of the unsoundness of the Christian scheme of salvation and the human origin of the scriptures have become clearer and stronger with advancing years, and I see no reason for thinking I shall ever change them.
Abraham Lincoln

Laughter can be used to sooth the mind and get rid of those awful thoughts.
