More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
A lawyer's time and advice are his(her) stock in trade.
Abraham Lincoln
If you have never failed you have never lived.
Abraham Lincoln
No man has a good enough memory to be a successful liar.
Abraham Lincoln
The Union, and the Constitution, are the picture of silver, subsequently framed around it. The picture was not made to conceal or destroy the apple, but to adorn and preserve it. The picture was made for the apple-not the apple for the picture.
Abraham Lincoln
There is a vague popular belief that lawyers are necessarily dishonest. I say vague, because when we consider to what extent confidence and honors are reposed in and conferred upon lawyers by the people, it appears improbable that their impression of dishonesty is very distinct and vivid. Yet the impression is common, almost universal.
Abraham Lincoln
I am now the most miserable man living. If what I feel were felt by the whole human race, there would not be one cheerful face left on earth.
Abraham Lincoln
Bad promises are better broken than kept.
Abraham Lincoln
As our case is new, so we must think anew, and act anew.
Abraham Lincoln
You are green, it is true but they are green also. You are all green alike.
Abraham Lincoln
Nowhere in the world is presented a government of so much liberty and equality. To the humblest and poorest amongst us are held out the highest privileges and positions. The present moment finds me at the White House, yet there is as good a chance for your children as there was for my father's.
Abraham Lincoln
I have never had a feeling, politically, that did not spring from the Declaration of Independence that all should have an equal chance. This is the sentiment embodied in the Declaration of Independence, I would rather be assassinated on this spot than surrender it.
Abraham Lincoln
These capitalists generally act harmoniously and in concert, to fleece the people.
Abraham Lincoln
I can make more generals, but horses cost money.
Abraham Lincoln
Laughter can be used to sooth the mind and get rid of those awful thoughts.
Abraham Lincoln
We can not have free government without elections and if the rebellion could force us to forego, or postpone a national election it might fairly claim to have already conquered and ruined us.
Abraham Lincoln
Determine that the thing can and shall be done and then... find the way.
Abraham Lincoln
He has a right to criticize, who has a heart to help.
Abraham Lincoln
Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves.
Abraham Lincoln
I turn, then, and look to the American people and to that God who has never forsaken them.
Abraham Lincoln
We, on our side, are praying to Him to give us victory, because we believe we are right but those on the other side pray to Him, look for victory, believing they are right. What must He think of us?
Abraham Lincoln
