More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
Labor is the great source from which nearly all, if not all, human comforts and necessities are drawn.
Abraham Lincoln
Every man has a right to be equal with every other man.
Abraham Lincoln
The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise with the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew and act anew.
Abraham Lincoln
A husband and wife may be divorced and go out of the presence and beyond the reach of each other, but the different parts of our country can not do this. They can but remain face to face, and intercourse, either amicable or hostile, must continue between them.
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
You already know I desire that neither Father or Mother shall be in want of any comfort either in health or sickness while they live.
Abraham Lincoln
It must now atone in blood for its complicity in wickedness.
Abraham Lincoln
I have been driven many times upon my knees by the overwhelming conviction that I had no where else to go. My own wisdom and that of all about me seemed insufficient for that day.
Abraham Lincoln
Character is like a tree, and reputation is like its shadow.
Abraham Lincoln
I can make brigadier generals, but i can't make horses.
Abraham Lincoln
We can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorn bushes have roses.
Abraham Lincoln
If I care to listen to every criticism, let alone act on them, then this shop may as well be closed for all other businesses. I have learned to do my best, and if the end result is good then I do not care for any criticism, but if the end result is not good, then even the praise of ten angels would not make the difference.
Abraham Lincoln
This human struggle and scramble for office, for a way to live without work, will finally test the strength of our institutions.
Abraham Lincoln
What constitutes the bulwark of our own liberty and independence?
Abraham Lincoln
Life is hard but so very beautiful
Abraham Lincoln
Let there be no compromise on the question of extending slavery. If there be, all our labor is lost, and, ere long, must be done again.
Abraham Lincoln
These men ask for just the same thing, fairness, and fairness only. This, so far as in my power, they, and all others, shall have.
Abraham Lincoln
When the conduct of men is designed to be influenced, persuasion, kind, unassuming persuasion, should ever be adopted. It is an old and a true maxim, that 'a drop of honey catches more flies than a gallon of gall.'
Abraham Lincoln
One's only security in life comes from doing something uncommonly well.
Abraham Lincoln
We must remember that the people of all the States are entitled to all the privileges and immunities of the citizen of the several States. We should bear this in mind, and act in such a way as to say nothing insulting or irritating. I would inculcate this idea, so that we may not, like Pharisees, set ourselves up to be better than other people.
Abraham Lincoln
