Abraham Lincoln
Ready are we all to cry out and ascribe motives when our toes are pinched.
Abraham Lincoln
I therefore consider that in view of the Constitution and the laws, the Union is unbroken and to the extent of my ability I shall take care, as the Constitution itself expressly enjoins upon me, that the laws of the Union be faithfully executed in all the States.
Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
What kills a skunk is the publicity it gives itself.
Abraham Lincoln
I hate it because of the monstrous injustice of slavery itself. I hate it because it deprives our republican example of its just influence in the world.
Abraham Lincoln
It behooves us then to humble ourselves before the offended Power to confess our national sins and to pray for clemency and forgiveness.
Abraham Lincoln
There are no bad pictures that's just how your face looks sometimes.
Abraham Lincoln
A day spent helping no one but yourself is a day wasted.
Abraham Lincoln
I am glad to see that a system of labor prevails under which laborers can strike when they want to.
Abraham Lincoln
We all declare for liberty, but in using the same word we do not all mean the same thing.
Abraham Lincoln
We will make converts day by day we will grow strong by the violence and injustice of our adversaries. And, unless truth be a mockery and justice a hollow lie, we will be in the majority after a while.
Abraham Lincoln
