Abraham Lincoln
Man is not the only animal who labors but he is the only one who improves his workmanship.
Abraham Lincoln
Fellow-citizens, we cannot escape history. We of this Congress and this administration, will be remembered in spite of ourselves.

Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
I'm a success today because I had a friend who believed in me and I didn't have the heart to let him down.
Abraham Lincoln
As President, I have no eyes but constitutional eyes I cannot see you.
Abraham Lincoln
...Let us discard all this quibbling about this man and the other man-this race and that race and the other race being inferior, and therefore they must be placed in and inferior position...Let us discard all these things, and unite as one people throughout this land, until we shall once more stand up declaring that all men are created equal.
Abraham Lincoln
Most folks are as happy as they make up their minds to be.
Abraham Lincoln
I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true.
Abraham Lincoln
The government will support you to the utmost of its ability, which is neither more nor less than it has done and will do for allcommanders.
Abraham Lincoln
