Abraham Lincoln
The Lord spared the fitten and the rest he seen fitten to die.
Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
He who sees cruelty and does nothing about it is himself cruel.
Abraham Lincoln
It is to deny, what the history of the world tells us is true, to suppose that men of ambition and talents will not continue to spring up amongst us. And, when they do, they will as naturally seek the gratification of their ruling passion, as others have so done before them.
Abraham Lincoln
A tendancy to melancholy...let it be observed, is a misfortune, not a fault.
Abraham Lincoln
Towering genius...thirsts and burns for distinction and, if possible, it will have it, whether at the expense of emancipating slaves or enslaving freeman.
Abraham Lincoln
The US patent system adds the fuel of interest to the fire of genius in the discovery and production of new and useful things
Abraham Lincoln
Ballots are the rightful and peaceful successors of bullets, and that when ballots have fairly and constitutionall y decided there can be no successful appeal back to bullets.
Abraham Lincoln
Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe.
Abraham Lincoln
The land, the earth God gave to man for his home ... should never be the possession of any man, corporation, (or) society ... any more than the air or water.
Abraham Lincoln
