Abraham Lincoln
My father taught me to work he did not teach me to love it.
Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
We trust, sir, that God is on our side. It is more important to know that we are on God's side.
Abraham Lincoln
Education does not mean teaching people what they do not know. It means teaching them to behave as they do not behave.

I have never had a feeling politically that did not spring from the sentiments embodied in the Declaration of Independence.
Abraham Lincoln
Always remember: Life is for enjoying.
Abraham Lincoln
