More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
My old father used to have a saying: If you make a bad bargain, hug it all the tighter.
Abraham Lincoln
If there is no military need for the building, leave it alone, neither putting anyone in or out of it, except on finding some one preaching or practicing treason, in which case lay hands on him, just as if he were doing the same thing in any other building.
Abraham Lincoln
I care not much for a man's religion whose dog and cat are not the better for it.
Abraham Lincoln
The ballot is stronger than the bullet.
Abraham Lincoln
It is your business to rise up and preserve the Union and liberty, for yourselves, and not for me. I desire they shall be constitutionally preserved.
Abraham Lincoln
There may sometimes be ungenerous attempts to keep a young man down and they will succeed too, if he allows his mind to be diverted from its true channel to brood over the attempted injury. Cast about, and see if this feeling has not injured every person you have ever known to fall into it.
Abraham Lincoln
The probability that we may fail in the struggle ought not to deter us from the support of a cause we believe to be just.
Abraham Lincoln
Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe.
Abraham Lincoln
Labor is the great source from which nearly all, if not all, human comforts and necessities are drawn.
Abraham Lincoln
Honor is better than honors.
Abraham Lincoln
Nothing is more damaging to you than to do something that you believe is wrong.
Abraham Lincoln
Too big to cry too young to laugh.
Abraham Lincoln
Don't worry when you are not recognized, but strive to be worthy of recognition.
Abraham Lincoln
I will do what I think is right and when I discover that it is wrong, I will change it.
Abraham Lincoln
I laugh because I must not cry, that is all, that is all.
Abraham Lincoln
He can compress the most words into the smallest ideas of any man I ever met.
Abraham Lincoln
Tact is the ability to describe others as they see themselves.
Abraham Lincoln
Leave nothing for to-morrow which can be done to-day.
Abraham Lincoln
I fear you do not fully comprehend the danger of abridging the liberties of the people. Nothing but the sternest necessity can ever justify it. A government had better go to the extreme of toleration, than to do aught that could be construed into an interference with, or to jeopardize in any degree, the common rights of its citizens.
Abraham Lincoln
Believing everybody is dangerous, but believing nobody is more dangerous.
Abraham Lincoln
