More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
. . . peace is a thing which a person must be willing to fight for . . .
Abraham Lincoln
In those days, our Declaration of Independence was held sacred by all, and thought to include all but now, to aid in the making the bondage of the negro universal and eternal, it is assailed, and sneered at, and construed, and hawked at, and torn, till, if its framers could rise from their graves, they could not at all recognize it.
Abraham Lincoln
I intend no modification of my oft-expressed wish that all men everywhere could be free.
Abraham Lincoln
It has been my experience that folks who have no vices have very few virtues.
Abraham Lincoln
Avoid popularity if you would have peace.
Abraham Lincoln
War, at the best, is terrible, and this war of ours, in its magnitude and in its duration, is one of the most terrible.
Abraham Lincoln
A Prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles upon which our government was founded.
Abraham Lincoln
You think slavery is right and ought to be extended while we think it is wrong and ought to be restricted. That I suppose is the rub. It certainly is the only substantial difference between us.
Abraham Lincoln
We know nothing of what will happen in future, but by the analogy of experience.
Abraham Lincoln
Nations like individuals are subjected to punishments and chastisements in this world.
Abraham Lincoln
It is to deny, what the history of the world tells us is true, to suppose that men of ambition and talents will not continue to spring up amongst us. And, when they do, they will as naturally seek the gratification of their ruling passion, as others have so done before them.
Abraham Lincoln
No client ever had money enough to bribe my conscience or to stop its utterance against wrong, and oppression. My conscience is my own - my creators - not man's. I shall never sink the rights of mankind to the malice, wrong, or avarice of another's wishes, though those wishes come to me in the relation of client and attorney.
Abraham Lincoln
Many free countries have lost their liberty, and ours may lose hers but, if she shall, be it my proudest plume, not that I was the last to desert, but that I never deserted her.
Abraham Lincoln
As a nation we began by declaring that all me are created equal. We now practically read it, all men are created equal except Negroes.
Abraham Lincoln
We cannot ask a man what he will do, and if we should, and he should answer us, we should despise him for it. Therefore we must take a man whose opinions are known.
Abraham Lincoln
A friend is one who has the same enemies as you have.
Abraham Lincoln
Without slavery the rebellion could never have existed without slavery it could not continue.
Abraham Lincoln
He who represents himself has a fool for a client
Abraham Lincoln
Nothing new here, except my marrying, which to me is a matter of profound wonder.
Abraham Lincoln
Extemporaneous speaking should be practised and cultivated. It is the lawyer's avenue to the public.
Abraham Lincoln
