More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
If I were to try to read, much less answer, all the attacks made on me, this shop might as well be closed for any other business.
Abraham Lincoln
Whether or not the world would be vastly benefited by a total banishment from it of all intoxicating drinks seems not now an open question. Three-fourths of mankind confess the affirmative with their tongues, and I believe all the rest acknowledge it in their hearts.
Abraham Lincoln
That our government should have been maintained in its original form from its establishment until now, is not much to be wondered at. It had many props to support it through that period, which now are decayed, and crumbled away. Through that period, it was felt by all, to be an undecided experiment now, it is understood to be a successful one.
Abraham Lincoln
Better give your path to a dog than be bitten by him in contesting for the right. Even killing the dog would not cure the bite
Abraham Lincoln
History is not history unless it is the truth.
Abraham Lincoln
A husband and wife may be divorced and go out of the presence and beyond the reach of each other, but the different parts of our country can not do this. They can but remain face to face, and intercourse, either amicable or hostile, must continue between them.
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
If there is anything that a man can do well, I say let him do it. Give him a chance.
Abraham Lincoln
Writing, the art of communicating thoughts to the mind through the eye, is the great invention of the world.
Abraham Lincoln
No state, upon its own mere motion, can lawfully get out of the Union. Plainly, the central idea of secession, is the essence of anarchy.
Abraham Lincoln
It's time for me to go. But I would rather stay.
Abraham Lincoln
Our common country is in great peril, demanding the loftiest views, and boldest action to bring it speedy relief. Once relieved, its form of government is saved to the world its beloved history, and cherished memories, are vindicated and its happy future fully assured, and rendered inconceivably grand.
Abraham Lincoln
The probability that we may fail in the struggle ought not to deter us from the support of a cause we believe to be just.
Abraham Lincoln
The plainest print cannot be read through a gold eagle.
Abraham Lincoln
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
I hold that while a man exists, it is his duty to improve not only his own condition, but to assist in ameliorating mankind.
Abraham Lincoln
I believe I shall never be old enough to speak without embarrassment when I have nothing to talk about.
Abraham Lincoln
A Prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles upon which our government was founded.
Abraham Lincoln
I am glad to see that a system of labor prevails under which laborers can strike when they want to.
Abraham Lincoln
Truth is generally the best vindication against slander
