More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
I do the very best I can, I mean to keep going. If the end brings me out all right, then what is said against me won't matter. If I'm wrong, ten angels swearing I was right won't make a difference.
Abraham Lincoln
My faith in the proposition that each man should do precisely as he pleases with all which is exclusively his own lies at the foundation of the sense of justice there is in me.
Abraham Lincoln
I believe the Bible is the best gift God has ever given to man.
Abraham Lincoln
Teach economy. That is one of the first and highest virtues. It begins with saving money.
Abraham Lincoln
In order to win a man to your cause, you must first reach his heart, the great high road to his reason.
Abraham Lincoln
I will say, then, that I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races: that I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of making voters or jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people.
Abraham Lincoln
I know not how to aid you, save in the assurance of one of mature age, and much severe experience, that you can not fail, if you resolutely determine, that you will not.
Abraham Lincoln
I certainly know that if the war fails, the administration fails, and that I will be blamed for it, whether I deserve it or not. And I ought to be blamed, if I could do better. You think I could do better therefore you blame me already. I think I could not do better therefore I blame you for blaming me.
Abraham Lincoln
Bad promises are better broken than kept.
Abraham Lincoln
If you would win a man to your cause, first convince him that you are his sincere friend.
Abraham Lincoln
Kindness is the only service that will stand the storm of life and not wash out.
Abraham Lincoln
We seek not to overthrow the constitution, but to overthrow those who would prevert it.
Abraham Lincoln
Teach the children so it will not be necessary to teach the adults.
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
I believe the declaration that ‘all men are created equal’ is the great fundamental principle upon which our free institutions rest.
Abraham Lincoln
For it has been said, all that a man hath will he give for his life and while all contribute of their substance the soldier puts his life at stake, and often yields it up in his country's cause. The highest merit, then is due to the soldier.
Abraham Lincoln
When I left Springfield [to become President] I asked the people to pray for me. I was not a Christian. When I buried my son, the severest trial of my life, I was not a Christian. But when I went to Gettysburg and saw the graves of thousands of our soldiers, I then and there consecrated myself to Christ.
Abraham Lincoln
Adhere to your purpose and you will soon feel as well as you ever did. On the contrary, if you falter, and give up, you will lose the power of keeping any resolution, and will regret it all your life.
Abraham Lincoln
I would rather be a little nobody, then to be a evil somebody.
Abraham Lincoln
Be not deceived. Revolutions do not go backward.
Abraham Lincoln
