More quotes by 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
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
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
It has been my experience that folks who have no vices have very few virtues.
Abraham Lincoln
This is a world of compensations and he who would be no slave, must consent to have no slave.
Abraham Lincoln
confused and Stunned, like a duck hit on the head.
Abraham Lincoln
Gold is good in its place, but living, brave, patriotic men are better than gold.
Abraham Lincoln
When I get ready to talk to people, I spend two thirds of the time thinking what they want to hear and one third thinking about what I want to say.
Abraham Lincoln
Whereas, the Senate of the United States, devoutly recognizing the Supreme Authority and just Government of Almighty God, in all the affairs of men and of nations, has, by a resolution, requested the President to designate and set apart a day for National prayer and humiliation.
Abraham Lincoln
Never do anything for anyone who can just as well do it themself
Abraham Lincoln
Few can be induced to labor exclusively for posterity and none will do it enthusiastically. Posterity has done nothing for us and theorize on it as we may, practically we shall do very little for it, unless we are made to think we are at the same time doing something for ourselves.
Abraham Lincoln
I have endured a great deal of ridicule without much malice and have received a great deal of kindness, not quite free from ridicule. I am used to it.
Abraham Lincoln
Lamon, that speech won't scour. It is a flat failure and the people are disappointed.
Abraham Lincoln
Let the people know the truth and the country is safe.
Abraham Lincoln
The only assurance of our nation's safety is to lay our foundation in morality and religion.
Abraham Lincoln
You already know I desire that neither Father or Mother shall be in want of any comfort either in health or sickness while they live.
Abraham Lincoln
I have always wanted to deal with everyone I meet candidly and honestly. If I have made any assertion not warranted by facts, and it is pointed out to me, I will withdraw it cheerfully.
Abraham Lincoln
I hold that if the Almighty had ever made a set of men that should do all the eating and none of the work, he would have made them with mouths only and no hands, and if he had ever made another class that he intended should do all the work and none of the eating, he would have made them without mouths and with all hands.
Abraham Lincoln
Freedom is the natural condition of the human race, in which the Almighty intended men to live. Those who fight the purpose of the Almighty will not succeed. They always have been, they always will be beaten.
Abraham Lincoln
Freedom is not the right to do what we want, but what we ought
Abraham Lincoln
