If you wish to be a lawyer, attach no consequence to the place you are in, or the person you are with but get books, sit down anywhere, and go to reading for yourself. That will make a lawyer of you quicker than any other way.

Abraham Lincoln
Image
A husband and wife may be divorced and go out of the presence and beyond the reach of each other, but the different parts of our country can not do this. They can but remain face to face, and intercourse, either amicable or hostile, must continue between them.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
No country can sustain, in idleness, more than a small percentage of its numbers. The great majority must labor at something productive.
Abraham Lincoln
Image

I am not concerned that you have fallen -- I am concerned that you arise.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Fellow-citizens, we cannot escape history. We of this Congress and this administration, will be remembered in spite of ourselves. No personal significance, or insignificance, can spare one or another of us. The fiery trial through which we pass, will light us down, in honor or dishonor, to the latest generation.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I would rather be a little nobody, then to be a evil somebody.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I hate it because of the monstrous injustice of slavery itself. I hate it because it deprives our republican example of its just influence in the world.

If this is coffee, please bring me some tea but if this is tea, please bring me some coffee.

Nor must Uncle Sam's Web-feet be forgotten. At all the watery margins they have been present. Not only on the deep sea, the broadbay, and the rapid river, but also up the narrow muddy bayou, and wherever the ground was a little damp, they have been, and made their tracks.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Should my administration prove to be a very wicked one...or a very foolish one, if you, the people, are true to yourselves and the Constitution, there is little harm I can do, thank God.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I have neither time nor disposition to enter into discussion with the Friend, and end this occasion by suggesting for her consideration the question whether, if it be true that the Lord has appointed me to do the work she has indicated, it is not probable that he would have communicated knowledge of the fact to me as well as to her.
