More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
The demon of intemperance ever seems to have delighted in sucking the blood of genius and of generosity.
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
Never stir up litigation, a worse man can scarcely be found than one who does this, who can be more nearly a fiend than he who habitually overhauls the register of deeds in search of defects in titles, whereon to stir up strife, and put money in his pocket?
Abraham Lincoln
I could as easily bail out the Potomac River with a teaspoon as attend to all the details of the army.
Abraham Lincoln
God must love the common man, he made so many of them.
Abraham Lincoln
Let no young man choosing the law for a calling for a moment yield to the popular belief -- resolve to be honest at all events and if in your own judgment you cannot be an honest lawyer, resolve to be honest without being a lawyer.
Abraham Lincoln
The only person who is a worse liar than a faith healer is his patient.
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
Tangible language, which often tells more falsehoods than truths.
Abraham Lincoln
We should avoid planting and cultivating too many thorns in the bosom of society.
Abraham Lincoln
I shall be most happy indeed if I shall be an humble instrument in the hands of the Almighty, and of this his almost chosen people.
Abraham Lincoln
Friendship is the start for what you call love.
Abraham Lincoln
Cling to liberty and right battle fro them leed for them die for them, if need be and have confidence in God.
Abraham Lincoln
You can tell the greatness of a man by what makes him angry
Abraham Lincoln
I claim not to have controlled events, but confess plainly that events have controlled me.
Abraham Lincoln
We trust, sir, that God is on our side. It is more important to know that we are on God's side.
Abraham Lincoln
Our popular government has often been called an experiment. Two points in it our people have already settled, the successful establishing and the successful administering of it. One still remains, its successful maintenance against a formidable internal attempt to overthrow it.
Abraham Lincoln
I am slow to learn and slow to forget that which I have learned. My mind is like a piece of steel, very hard to scratch any thing on it and almost impossible after you get it there to rub it out.
Abraham Lincoln
In regards to this great Book [the Bible], I have but to say it is the best gift God has given to man. All the good the Savior gave to the world was communicated through this Book. But for it we could not know right from wrong. All things most desirable for man's welfare, here and hereafter, are found portrayed in it.
Abraham Lincoln
Teach economy. That is one of the first and highest virtues. It begins with saving money.
Abraham Lincoln
