I have always believed that a good laugh was good for both the mental and physical digestion.

I don't believe in a law to prevent a man from getting rich it would do more harm than good. So while we do not propose any war upon capital, we do wish to allow the humblest man an equal chance to get rich with everybody else.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
The very spot where grew the bread that formed my bones, I see. How strange, old field, on thee to tread, and feel I'm part of thee.

As a general rule never take your whole fee in advance, nor any more than a small retainer. When fully paid beforehand, you are more than a common mortal if you can feel the same interest in the case, as if something was still in prospect for you, as well as for your client.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I believe this Government cannot endure, permanently half slave and half free.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
We hoped for a happy termination of this terrible war long before this but God knows best, and has ruled otherwise. We shall yet acknowledge His wisdom and our own error therein.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Bring me Longstreet's head on a platter and the war will be over
Abraham Lincoln

What has ever threatened our liberty and prosperity save and except this institution of Slavery?
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Determine that the thing can and shall be done and then... find the way.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
A nation may be said to consist of its territory, its people, and its laws. The territory is the only part which is of certain durability.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
It is your business to rise up and preserve the Union and liberty, for yourselves, and not for me. I desire they shall be constitutionally preserved.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
If we have no friends, we have no pleasure and if we have them, we are sure to lose them, and be doubly pained by the loss.
