More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
The Democracy of to-day hold the liberty of one man to be absolutely nothing, when in conflict with another mans right of property. Republicans, on the contrary, are for both the man and the dollar but in cases of conflict, the man before the dollar.
Abraham Lincoln
The world shall know that I will keep my faith to friends and enemies, come what will.
Abraham Lincoln
I have just read your dispatch about sore-tongued and fatigued horses, Will you pardon me for asking what the horses of your army have done since the Battle of Antietam that fatigues anything?
Abraham Lincoln
The world is agreed that labor is the source from which human wants are mainly supplied. There is no dispute upon this point.
Abraham Lincoln
Knavery and flattery are blood relations.
Abraham Lincoln
You must think I am a high-priced man.... Fifteen dollars is enough for the job. I send you a receipt for fifteen dollars, and return to you a ten-dollar bill.
Abraham Lincoln
Many free countries have lost their liberty, and ours may lose hers but, if she shall, be it my proudest plume, not that I was the last to desert, but that I never deserted her.
Abraham Lincoln
I have two great enemies, the Southern Army in front of me and the bankers in the rear. Of the two, the one at my rear is my greatest foe.
Abraham Lincoln
Oh, that [his Thanksgiving Message] is some of Seward's nonsense, and it pleases the fools.
Abraham Lincoln
We must free the slaves or be ourselves subdued.
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
Commitment is what transforms a promise into a reality... Commitment is the stuff character is made of the power to change the face of things. It is the daily triumph of integrity over skepticism.
Abraham Lincoln
We want, and must have, a national policy, as to slavery, which deals with it as being wrong.
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
What constitutes the bulwark of our own liberty and independence? It is not...the guns of our war steamers, or the strength of our gallant and disciplined army...our reliance is in the love of liberty which God has planted in our bosoms...
Abraham Lincoln
Our strife pertains to ourselves-to the passing generations of men-and it can without convulsion be hushed forever with the passing of one generation.
Abraham Lincoln
I cannot think that we are useless or God would not have created us.
Abraham Lincoln
The Father of Waters again goes unvexed to the sea.
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
We better know there is a fire whence we see much smoke rising than we could know it by one or two witnesses swearing to it. The witnesses may commit perjury, but the smoke cannot.
Abraham Lincoln
