More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battle-field, and patriot grave, to every living heart and hearth-stone, all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature. --as quoted in THE RIVER OF WINGED DREAMS

Abraham Lincoln
The land, the earth God gave to man for his home ... should never be the possession of any man, corporation, (or) society ... any more than the air or water.
Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
I am absent altogether too much to be a suitable instructor for a law-student. When a man has reached the age that Mr. Widner has,and has already been doing for himself, my judgment is, that he reads the books for himself without an instructor. That is precisely the way I came to the law.
Abraham Lincoln
The world has never had a good definition of the word liberty
Abraham Lincoln
And having thus chosen our course, without guile, and with pure purpose, let us renew our trust in God, and go forward without fear, and with manly hearts.
Abraham Lincoln
I could write shorter sermons but when I get started I'm too lazy to stop
Abraham Lincoln
But the proclamation, as law, either is valid, or is not valid. If it is not valid, it needs no retraction. If it is valid, it can not be retracted, any more than the dead can be brought to life.
Abraham Lincoln
I could not sleep when I got on such a hunt for an idea until I had caught it ...This was a kind of passion with me, and it has stuck by me for I am never easy now, when I am handling a thought, till I have bounded it north, and bounded it south, and bounded it east, and bounded it west.
Abraham Lincoln
