More quotes by Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
I want in all cases to do right.
Abraham Lincoln
[If not re-elected in 1864] then it will be my duty to so co-operate with the President elect, as to save the Union between the election and the inauguration as he will have secured his election on such ground that he can not possibly save it afterwards.
Abraham Lincoln
I am always for the man who wishes to work.
Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
There is something so ludicrous in promises of good or threats of evil a great way off as to render the whole subject with which they are connected easily turned into ridicule.
Abraham Lincoln
The money power preys on the nation in times of peace, and conspires against it in times of adversity. It is more despotic than monarchy, more insolent than autocracy, more selfish than bureaucracy. It denounces, as public enemies, all who question its methods or throw light upon its crimes.
Abraham Lincoln
The leading rule for the lawyer, as for the man of every other calling, is diligence. Leave nothing for to-morrow which can be done to-day.
Abraham Lincoln
We find ourselves under the government of a system of political institutions, conducing more essentially to the ends of civil and religious liberty, than any of which the history of former times tells us.
Abraham Lincoln
Hold on with a bulldog grip, and chew and choke as much as possible.
Abraham Lincoln
The severest justice may not always be the best policy
Abraham Lincoln
In all that people can do for themselves, government ought not to interfere.
Abraham Lincoln
You are green, it is true but they are green also. You are all green alike.
Abraham Lincoln
