More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
A man watches his pear-tree day after day, impatient for the ripening of the fruit. Let him attempt to force the process, and he may spoil both fruit and tree. But let him patiently wait, and the ripe pear at length falls into his lap.
Abraham Lincoln
Liquor may have its defenders, but it has no defense.
Abraham Lincoln
While I have often said that all men out to be free, yet I would allow those colored persons to be slaves who want to be and next to them those white persons who argue in favor of making other people slaves. I am in favor of giving an opportunity to such white men to try it on for themselves.
Abraham Lincoln
Whatever spiteful fools may say, Each jealous ranting yelper, No woman ever went astray, Without a man to help her
Abraham Lincoln
I take it that it is best for all to leave each man free to acquire property as fast as he can. Some will get wealthy. I dont believe in a law to prevent a man from getting rich it would do more harm than good.
Abraham Lincoln
Our defense is in the preservation of the spirit which prizes liberty as a heritage of all men, in all lands, everywhere. Destroy this spirit and you have planted the seeds of despotism around your own doors.
Abraham Lincoln
And I am glad to know that there is a system of labor - where the laborer can strike if he wants to! I would to God that such a system prevailed all over the world.
Abraham Lincoln
If you have never failed you have never lived.
Abraham Lincoln
Do not destroy that immortal emblem of humanity, the Declaration of Independence.
Abraham Lincoln
We accepted this war for an object, a worthy object, and the war will end when that object is attained. Under God, I hope it never will until that time.
Abraham Lincoln
All that serves labor serves the Nation. All ^ that harms labor is treason to America. No line can be drawn between these two. If any man tells you he loves America, yet hates labor, he is a liar. If any man tells you he trusts America, yet fears labor, he is a fool. There is no America without labor, and to fleece the one is to rob the other.
Abraham Lincoln
Our progress in degeneracy appears to me to be pretty rapid.
Abraham Lincoln
I am satisfied that when the Almighty wants me to do or not do any particular thing, He finds a way of letting me know it
Abraham Lincoln
My great concern is not whether you have failed, but whether you are content with your failure.
Abraham Lincoln
Government should stand behind its currency and credit and the bank deposits of the nation. No individual should suffer a loss of money through depreciation or inflated currency of Bank bankruptcy.
Abraham Lincoln
Your organization will take on the personality of its top leaders
Abraham Lincoln
With educated people, I suppose, punctuation is a matter of rule with me it is a matter of feeling. But I must say I have a great respect for the semicolin it's a useful little chap
Abraham Lincoln
I hold that while a man exists, it is his duty to improve not only his own condition, but to assist in ameliorating mankind.
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
Nowhere in the world is presented a government of so much liberty and equality. To the humblest and poorest amongst us are held out the highest privileges and positions. The present moment finds me at the White House, yet there is as good a chance for your children as there was for my father's.
Abraham Lincoln
