Abraham Lincoln
Character is the tree, reputation is the shadow.

Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
It's not me who can't keep a secret. It's the people I tell that can't.
Abraham Lincoln
I claim not to have controlled events, but confess plainly that events have controlled me.
Abraham Lincoln
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.
Abraham Lincoln
The best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time.
Abraham Lincoln
We believe that the spreading out and perpetuity of the institution of slavery impairs the general welfare. We believe - nay, we know, that that is the only thing that has ever threatened the perpetuity of the Union itself.
Abraham Lincoln
Every man has a right to be equal with every other man.
Abraham Lincoln
The eyes of that species of extinct giant, whose bones fill the mounds of America, have gazed on Niagara as our eyes do now.
Abraham Lincoln
You must remember that some things legally right are not morally right.
Abraham Lincoln
