More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
And whereas it is the duty of nations as well as of men, to own their dependence upon the overruling power of God ... and to recognize the sublime truth, announced in the Holy Scriptures and proven by all history, that those nations only are blessed whose God is the Lord.
Abraham Lincoln
As the chief speaker at the dedication of the national cemetery at the Gettysburg Battlefield, statesman Edward Everett wrote to Lincoln: I should be glad if I could flatter myself that I came as near to the central idea of the occasion in two hours as you did in two minutes.
Abraham Lincoln
A friend is one who has the same enemies as you have.
Abraham Lincoln
This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it. Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing government, they can exercise their constitutional right of amending it, or exercise their revolutionary right to overthrow it.
Abraham Lincoln
If I care to listen to every criticism, let alone act on them, then this shop may as well be closed for all other businesses. I have learned to do my best, and if the end result is good then I do not care for any criticism, but if the end result is not good, then even the praise of ten angels would not make the difference.
Abraham Lincoln
We know nothing of what will happen in future, but by the analogy of experience.
Abraham Lincoln
So you're the little woman who wrote the book that made this great war!
Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
Women are the only people I am afraid of who I never thought would hurt me
Abraham Lincoln
Again I admonish you not to be turned from your stern purpose of defending your beloved country and its free institutions by any arguments urged by ambitious and designing men, but stand fast to the Union and the old flag.
Abraham Lincoln
Labor is the true standard of value.
Abraham Lincoln
So plain that no one, high or low, ever does mistake it, except in a plainly selfish way for although volume upon volume is written to prove slavery a very good thing, we never hear of the man who wishes to take the good of it, by being a slave himself.
Abraham Lincoln
The man does not live who is more devoted to peace than I am. None who would do more to preserve it.
Abraham Lincoln
Avoid popularity if you would have peace.
Abraham Lincoln
The working men are the basis of all governments, for the plain reason that they are the most numerous.
Abraham Lincoln
Don't worry when you are not recognized, but strive to be worthy of recognition.
Abraham Lincoln
