More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
I'm a slow walker, but I never walk back.
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
If slavery is not wrong, nothing is wrong.
Abraham Lincoln
Senator Douglas holds, we know, that a man may rightfully be wiser today than he was yesterday - that he may rightfully change when he finds himself wrong. But can we, for that reason, run ahead, and infer that he will make any particular change, of which he, himself, has given no intimation?
Abraham Lincoln
I do but quote from one of those speeches when I declare that I have no purpose, directly or indirectly, to interfere with the institution of slavery in the States where it exists. I believe I have no lawful right to do so, and I have no inclination to do so.
Abraham Lincoln
It is not the qualified voters, but the qualified voters who choose to vote, that constitute political power.
Abraham Lincoln
A nation may be said to consist of its territory, its people, and its laws. The territory is the only part which is of certain durability.
Abraham Lincoln
People are just as happy as they choose to be.
Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
We can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorn bushes have roses.
Abraham Lincoln
Writing, the art of communicating thoughts to the mind through the eye, is the great invention of the world.
Abraham Lincoln
This is a world of compensations and he who would be no slave, must consent to have no slave.
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
We meet this evening, not in sorrow, but in gladness of heart.
Abraham Lincoln
All things desirable to men are contained in the Bible.
Abraham Lincoln
And whereas this House desires to obtain a full knowledge of all the facts which go to establish whether the particular spot of soil which the blood of our citizens was so shed was, or was not, our own soil.
Abraham Lincoln
I have never united myself to any church because I found difficulty in giving my assent without mental reservation to the long, complicated statements of Christian doctrine which characterize the articles of belief and the usual confession of faith.
Abraham Lincoln
I can make more generals, but horses cost money.
Abraham Lincoln
Nothing new here, except my marrying, which to me is a matter of profound wonder.
Abraham Lincoln
The very spot where grew the bread that formed my bones, I see. How strange, old field, on thee to tread, and feel I'm part of thee.
Abraham Lincoln
