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
I do not think I could myself, be brought to support a man for office, whom I knew to be an open enemy of, and scoffer at, religion. Leaving the higher matter of eternal consequences, between him and his Maker, I still do not think any man has the right thus to insult the feelings, and injure the morals, of the community in which he may live.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
In the first place, I insist that our fathers did not make this nation half slave and half free, or part slave and part free. I insist that they found the institution of slavery existing here. They did not make it so, but they left it so because they knew of no way to get rid of it at that time.
Abraham Lincoln

My father taught me to work, but not to love it. I never did like to work, and I don't deny it. I'd rather read, tell stories, crack jokes, talk, laugh -- anything but work.

Image
What is to be, will be, and no prayers of ours can arrest the decree.
Abraham Lincoln

I wish to see, in process of disappearing, that only thing which ever could bring this nation to civil war.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
This human struggle and scramble for office, for a way to live without work, will finally test the strength of our institutions.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Well, I wish some of you would tell me the brand of whiskey that Grant drinks. I would like to send a barrel of it to my other generals.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
What I want is to get done what the people desire to have done, and the question for me is how to find that out exactly.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
No man ever got lost on a straight road.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Let reverence for the laws . . . become the political religion of the nation.

The plainest print cannot be read through a gold eagle.
Abraham Lincoln

The world is agreed that labor is the source from which human wants are mainly supplied. There is no dispute upon this point.
