More quotes by 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
Government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the Earth.
Abraham Lincoln
It must now atone in blood for its complicity in wickedness.
Abraham Lincoln
Nothing in this world is impossible to a willing heart.
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
Surely He intends some great good to follow this mighty convulsion which no mortal could make, and no mortal could stay.
Abraham Lincoln
Now I confess myself as belonging to that class in the country who contemplate slavery as a moral, social and political evil.
Abraham Lincoln
You can have anything you want if you want it badly enough. You can be anything you want to be, do anything you set out to accomplish if you hold to that desire with singleness of purpose.
Abraham Lincoln
Talk to the jury as though your client's fate depends on every word you utter.
Abraham Lincoln
I can see how it might be possible for a man to look down upon the earth and be an atheist, but I cannot conceive how a man could look up into the heavens and say there is no God.
Abraham Lincoln
Discourage litigation. Persuade your neighbors to compromise whenever you can.
Abraham Lincoln
I am struggling to maintain the government, not to overthrow it. I am struggling especially to prevent others from overthrowing it.
Abraham Lincoln
Public opinion, though often formed upon a wrong basis, yet generally has a strong underlying sense of justice.
Abraham Lincoln
It's bad. It's damned bad.
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
It is not 'Is God on my side', but 'Am I on God's side'.
Abraham Lincoln
Be with a leader when he is right, stay with him when he is still right, but, leave him when he is wrong.
Abraham Lincoln
I am a little uneasy about the abolishment of slavery in this District of Columbia.
Abraham Lincoln
Human nature will not change. In any future great national trial, compared with the men of this, we shall have as weak and as strong, as silly and as wise, as bad and as good. Let us therefore study the incidents in this as philosophy to learn wisdom from and none of them as wrongs to be avenged.
Abraham Lincoln
If it were not for my firm belief in an overruling Providence, it would be difficult for me, in the midst of such complications of affairs, to keep my reason on its seat. But I am confident that the Almighty has His plans, and will work them out and, whether we see it or not, they will be the best for us.
Abraham Lincoln
