More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
All things desirable to men are contained in the Bible.
Abraham Lincoln
I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours, to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of Freedom.
Abraham Lincoln
The Cause of civil liberty must not be surrendered at the end of one, or even one hundred defeats.
Abraham Lincoln
I would rather be a little nobody, then to be a evil somebody.
Abraham Lincoln
In this age, in this country, public sentiment is everything. With it, nothing can fail against it, nothing can succeed. Whoever molds public sentiment goes deeper than he who enacts statutes, or pronounces judicial decisions.
Abraham Lincoln
Committee: A group which succeeds in getting something done only when it consists of three members, one of whom happens to be sick and another absent.
Abraham Lincoln
And you are entirely free from head-ache? That is good -- good -- considering it is the first spring you have been free from it since we were acquainted. I am afraid you will get so well, and fat, and young, as to be wanting to marry again.
Abraham Lincoln
Violence begins where knowledge ends.
Abraham Lincoln
A jury too often has at least one member more ready to hang the panel than to hang the traitor.
Abraham Lincoln
A man watches his pear-tree day after day, impatient for the ripening of the fruit. Let him attempt to force the process, and he may spoil both fruit and tree. But let him patiently wait, and the ripe pear at length falls into his lap.
Abraham Lincoln
Lonely men seek companionship. Lonely women sit at home and wait. They never meet.
Abraham Lincoln
The principles of Jefferson are the definitions and axioms of free society.
Abraham Lincoln
Quarrel not at all. No man resolved to make the most of himself can spare time for personal contention.
Abraham Lincoln
I have simply tried to do what seemed best each day, as each day came.
Abraham Lincoln
Can treaties be more faithfully enforced between aliens than laws can among friends? Suppose you go to war, you cannot fight always and when, after much loss on both sides, and no gain on either, you cease fighting, the identical old questions as to terms of intercourse are again upon you.
Abraham Lincoln
But the proclamation, as law, either is valid, or is not valid. If it is not valid, it needs no retraction. If it is valid, it can not be retracted, any more than the dead can be brought to life.
Abraham Lincoln
But for that Book, we could not know right from wrong.
Abraham Lincoln
If there is anything that links the human to the divine, it is the courage to stand by a principle when everybody else rejects it.
Abraham Lincoln
Our attitude is more honest and more consistent than our words.
Abraham Lincoln
I couldn't be two faced. If I had two faces, I wouldn't wear this one.
Abraham Lincoln
