My friends I now leave, not knowing when, or whether ever, I may return, with a task before me greater than that which rested upon Washington. Without the assistance of that Divine Being, who ever attended him, I cannot succeed. With that assistance, I cannot fail.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I am now the most miserable man living. If what I feel were felt by the whole human race, there would not be one cheerful face left on earth.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
All that I am, or hope to be, I owe to my angel mother.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I fear you do not fully comprehend the danger of abridging the liberties of the people. Nothing but the sternest necessity can ever justify it. A government had better go to the extreme of toleration, than to do aught that could be construed into an interference with, or to jeopardize in any degree, the common rights of its citizens.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I have never had a feeling, politically, that did not spring from the Declaration of Independence that all should have an equal chance. This is the sentiment embodied in the Declaration of Independence, I would rather be assassinated on this spot than surrender it.
Abraham Lincoln
Image

Abraham Lincoln
Image
Nevertheless, amid the greatest difficulties of my Administration, when I could not see any other resort, I would place my whole reliance on God, knowing that all would go well, and that He would decide for the right.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
If you wish to win a man over to your ideas, first make him your friend.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
When I get ready to talk to people, I spend two thirds of the time thinking what they want to hear and one third thinking about what I want to say.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
No policy that does not rest upon some philosophical public opinion can be permanently maintained.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here so nobly advanced.
