More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
I couldn't be two faced. If I had two faces, I wouldn't wear this one.
Abraham Lincoln
When I go hear a man speak, I like to hear him speak like he's fighting a swarm of bees.
Abraham Lincoln
That our government should have been maintained in its original form from its establishment until now, is not much to be wondered at. It had many props to support it through that period, which now are decayed, and crumbled away. Through that period, it was felt by all, to be an undecided experiment now, it is understood to be a successful one.
Abraham Lincoln
Force is all conquering, but it's victories are short lived.
Abraham Lincoln
God can not be for, and against the same thing at the same time.
Abraham Lincoln
I think that if anything can be proved by natural theology, it is that slavery is morally wrong. God gave man a mouth to receive bread, hands to feed it, and his hand has a right to carry bread to his mouth without controversy.
Abraham Lincoln
Allow me to assure you, that suspicion and jealousy never did help any man in any situation.
Abraham Lincoln
Were it not for my little jokes, I could not bear the burdens of this office.
Abraham Lincoln
There are few things wholly evil or wholly good. Almost everything, especially of government policy, is an inseparable compound of the two, so that our best judgment of the preponderance between them is continually demanded.
Abraham Lincoln
No matter how much cats fight, there always seem to be plenty of kittens.
Abraham Lincoln
A right result, at this time, will be worth more to the world, than ten times the men, and ten times the money.
Abraham Lincoln
The very spot where grew the bread that formed my bones, I see. How strange, old field, on thee to tread, and feel I'm part of thee.
Abraham Lincoln
Next to creating a life the finest thing a man can do is save one.
Abraham Lincoln
If I care to listen to every criticism, let alone act on them, then this shop may as well be closed for all other businesses. I have learned to do my best, and if the end result is good then I do not care for any criticism, but if the end result is not good, then even the praise of ten angels would not make the difference.
Abraham Lincoln
A child is a person who is going to carry on what you have started ... the fate of humanity is in his hands.
Abraham Lincoln
I do not boast that God is on my side, I humbly pray that I am on God's side.
Abraham Lincoln
The good old maxims of the Bible are applicable, and truly applicable to human affairs, and in this as in other things, we may say here that he who is not for us is against us he would gathereth not with us scattereth.
Abraham Lincoln
Anybody will do for you, but not for me.
Abraham Lincoln
Education does not mean teaching people what they do not know. It means teaching them to behave as they do not behave.
Abraham Lincoln
Do you think we choose the times into which we are born? Or do we fit the times we are born into?
Abraham Lincoln
