Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
I believe the Bible is the best gift God ever gave to man. All the good from the Savior of the world is communicated to us through that book. On a personal spiritual note, Lincoln confessed, I have been driven many times to my knees with the overwhelming conviction, that I had nowhere else to go.
Abraham Lincoln
The damnest scoundrel that ever lived, but in the infinite mercy of Providence... also the damnest fool.
Abraham Lincoln
I can only say that I have acted upon my best convictions, without selfishness or malice, and that by the help of God I shall continue to do so.
Abraham Lincoln
While I am deeply sensible to the high compliment of a re-election and duly grateful, as I trust, to Almighty God for having directed my countrymen to a right conclusion, as I think, for their own good, it adds nothing to my satisfaction that any other man may be disappointed or pained by the result.
Abraham Lincoln
Should my administration prove to be a very wicked one...or a very foolish one, if you, the people, are true to yourselves and the Constitution, there is little harm I can do, thank God.
Abraham Lincoln
