Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
To say a sheep has 5 legs doesn't make it so.
Abraham Lincoln
Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior ofcapital, and deserves muchthe higher consideration.

Never stir up litigation. A worse man can scarcely be found than one who does this.
Abraham Lincoln
I can hardly believe that the South and North can live in peace, unless we can get rid of the negroes ... I believe that it would be better to export them all to some fertile country with a good climate, which they could have to themselves.
Abraham Lincoln
No man ever got lost on a straight road.
Abraham Lincoln
