More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
History is not history unless it is the truth.
Abraham Lincoln
There are no accidents in my philosophy. Every effect must have its cause. The past is the cause of the present, and the present will be the cause of the future. All these are links in the endless chain stretching from the finite to the infinite.
Abraham Lincoln
I have got you together to hear what I have written down. I do not wish your advice about the main matterfor that I have determined for myself.
Abraham Lincoln
A majority held in restraint by constitutional checks and limitations...is the only true sovereign of a free people. Whoever rejects it does of necessity fly to anarchy or to despotism.
Abraham Lincoln
I know the hole he went in at, but I can't tell you what hole he will come out of.
Abraham Lincoln
The damnest scoundrel that ever lived, but in the infinite mercy of Providence... also the damnest fool.
Abraham Lincoln
Now I confess myself as belonging to that class in the country who contemplate slavery as a moral, social and political evil.
Abraham Lincoln
Our political problem now is, Can we as a nation continue together permanently - forever - half slave and half free?
Abraham Lincoln
I am always for the man who wishes to work.
Abraham Lincoln
We must work earnestly in the best light He gives us.
Abraham Lincoln
The only person who is a worse liar than a faith healer is his patient.
Abraham Lincoln
And then, the negro being doomed, and damned, and forgotten, to everlasting bondage, is the white man quite certain that the tyrant demon will not turn upon him too?
Abraham Lincoln
I know there is a God, and that He hates injustice and slavery. I see the storm coming, and I know that his hand is in it. If He has a place and work for me - and I think He has - I believe I am ready.
Abraham Lincoln
If elected I shall be thankful if not, it will be all the same.
Abraham Lincoln
It is easiest to be all things to all men, but it is not honest. Self-respect must be sacrificed every hour in the day.
Abraham Lincoln
Slavery is wrong. If Slavery is right, all words, acts, laws, and Constitutions against it, are themselves wrong, and should be silenced, and swept away.
Abraham Lincoln
And you are entirely free from head-ache? That is good -- good -- considering it is the first spring you have been free from it since we were acquainted. I am afraid you will get so well, and fat, and young, as to be wanting to marry again.
Abraham Lincoln
The Bible is not my book and Christianity is not my religion. I could never give assent to the long complicated statements of Christian dogma.
Abraham Lincoln
Whether you look for the good or look for the bad in a person, you'll find it. A. Lincoln
Abraham Lincoln
I am naturally anti-slavery. If slavery is not wrong, nothing is wrong. I can not remember when I did not so think, and feel. And yet I have never understood that the Presidency conferred upon me an unrestricted right to act officially upon this judgment and feeling.
Abraham Lincoln
