In this age, in this country, public sentiment is everything. With it, nothing can fail against it, nothing can succeed. Whoever molds public sentiment goes deeper than he who enacts statutes, or pronounces judicial decisions.

More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
Two of my favorite things are sitting on my front porch smoking a pipe of sweet hemp, and playing my Hohner harmonica.
Abraham Lincoln
Without the assistance of that Divine Being...I cannot succeed. With that assistance I cannot fail.
Abraham Lincoln
A house divided against itself cannot stand. I believe this government cannot endure, permanently half slave and half free. I do not expect the Union to be dissolved — I do not expect the house to fall — but I do expect it will cease to be divided. It will become all one thing or all the other.
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
You are ambitious, which, within reasonable bounds, does good rather than harm.
Abraham Lincoln
Gold is good in its place, but living, brave, patriotic men are better than gold.
Abraham Lincoln
Again, a law may be both constitutional and expedient, and yet may be administered in an unjust and unfair way.
Abraham Lincoln
Gen. Schurz thinks I was a little cross in my late note to you. If I was, I ask pardon. If I do get up a little temper I have no sufficient time to keep it up.
Abraham Lincoln
Be not deceived. Revolutions do not go backward.
Abraham Lincoln
He has got the slows, Mr. Blair.
Abraham Lincoln
When I go hear a man speak, I like to hear him speak like he's fighting a swarm of bees.
Abraham Lincoln
The people will save their government, if the government itself will allow them.
Abraham Lincoln
The damnest scoundrel that ever lived, but in the infinite mercy of Providence... also the damnest fool.
Abraham Lincoln
Any people anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the right to rise up, and shake off the existing government, and form a new one that suits them better. This is a most valuable - a most sacred right - a right, which we hope and believe, is to liberate the world.
Abraham Lincoln
My politics are short and sweet, like the old woman's dance.
Abraham Lincoln
There's no honorable way to kill, no gentle way to destroy. There is nothing good in war. Except its ending.
Abraham Lincoln
No man is good enough to govern another man without the other's consent.
Abraham Lincoln
This is essentially a people's contest... whose leading object is to elevate the condition of men - to lift artificial weights from all shoulders - to clear the paths of laudable pursuit for all - to afford all, an unfettered start and a fair chance, in the race of life.
Abraham Lincoln
As to your kind wishes for myself, allow me to say I can not enter the ring on the money basis--first, because, in the main, it iswrong and secondly, I have not, and can not get, the money. I say, in the main, the use of money is wrong but for certain objects, in a political contest, the use of some, is both right, and indispensable.
Abraham Lincoln
All things desirable to men are contained in the Bible.
