Abraham Lincoln
Anybody will do for you, but not for me.
Abraham Lincoln
We must believe that He permits it [this war] for some wise purpose of his own, mysterious and unknown to us and though with ourlimited understandings we may not be able to comprehend it, yet we cannot but believe, that he who made the world still governs it.
Abraham Lincoln
Military necessity does not admit of cruelty - that is, the infliction of suffering for the sake of suffering or for revenge, . . . nor of torture to extort confessions.
Abraham Lincoln
Towering genius disdains a beaten path ... It scorns to tread in the footsteps of any predecessor, however illustrious. It thirsts for distinction.
Abraham Lincoln
The loss of enemies does not compensate for the loss of friends.
