Money will cease to be master and become the servant of humanity. Democracy will rise superior to the money power.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
My father taught me to work he did not teach me to love it.
Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
Image

Abraham Lincoln
Image
Military glory-that attractive rainbow, that rises in showers of blood-that serpent's eye, that charms to destroy.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
If 600,000 people have to die in order for the nation to live, then 600,000 people will die.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
...I do not mean to say that this general government is charged with the duty of redressing or preventing all the wrongs in the world but I do think that it is charged with the duty of preventing and redressing all wrongs which are wrongs to itself.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
The probability that we may fail in the struggle ought not to deter us from the support of a cause we believe to be just.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Be sure you put your feet in the right place, then stand firm.
Abraham Lincoln
