Image
We trust, sir, that God is on our side. It is more important to know that we are on God's side.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
We have been the recipients of the choicest bounties of Heaven we have been preserved these many years in peace and prosperity we have grown in numbers, wealth, and power as no other nation has ever grown.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I will do what I think is right and when I discover that it is wrong, I will change it.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I am rather inclined to silence, and whether that be wise or not, it is at least more unusual nowadays to find a man who can hold his tongue than to find one who cannot.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
We know nothing of what will happen in future, but by the analogy of experience.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I go for all sharing the privileges of the government who assist in bearing its burdens. Consequently I go for admitting all whites to the right of suffrage who pay taxes or bear arms, by no means excluding females.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
An allusion has been made to the Homestead Law. I think it worthy of consideration, and that the wild lands of the country should be distributed so that every man should have the means and opportunity of benefitting his condition.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
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
Image
We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory will swell when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Whenever I hear anyone arguing for slavery, I feel a strong impulse to see it tried on him personally.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
There is nothing true anywhere, The true is nowhere to be seen If you say you see the true, This seeing is not the true one.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here so nobly advanced.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I do not think I could myself, be brought to support a man for office, whom I knew to be an open enemy of, and scoffer at, religion. Leaving the higher matter of eternal consequences, between him and his Maker, I still do not think any man has the right thus to insult the feelings, and injure the morals, of the community in which he may live.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
We cannot but believe that He who made the world still governs it.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
We meet this evening, not in sorrow, but in gladness of heart.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
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
Image
Nothing valuable can be lost by taking time.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
To give victory to the right, not bloody bullets, but peaceful ballots only, are necessary.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Why should there not be a patient confidence in the ultimate justice of the people? Is there any better or equal hope in the world?
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Don't interfere with anything in the Constitution. That must be maintained, for it is the only safeguard of our liberties.
