More quotes by Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
I failed, I failed, and that is about all that can be said about it.
Abraham Lincoln
I cannot think that we are useless or God would not have created us.
Abraham Lincoln
When I got him out he was near froze solid and shivering. He was shaking so hard that I wasted half a glass of whiskey trying to aim it for his mouth. Must have got enough of it into him, though, since it did seem to bring him back to life.
Abraham Lincoln
We should avoid planting and cultivating too many thorns in the bosom of society.
Abraham Lincoln
I could not sleep when I got on the hunt for an idea, until I had caught it. This was a kind of passion with me, and it has stuck with me.

Abraham Lincoln
It is not our frowning battlements...or the strength our gallant and disciplined army? These are not our reliance against a resumption of tyranny in our fair land... Our defense is in the preservation of the spirit which prizes liberty as the heritage of all men, in all lands, everywhere.
Abraham Lincoln
With this honor devolves upon you also a corresponding responsibility. As the country herein trusts you, so under God it will sustain you.
Abraham Lincoln
If once you forfeit the confidence of your fellow-citizens, you can never regain their respect and esteem.
Abraham Lincoln
It is not merely for to-day, but for all time to come that we should perpetuate for our children's children this great and free government, which we have enjoyed all our lives.
Abraham Lincoln
If 600,000 people have to die in order for the nation to live, then 600,000 people will die.
Abraham Lincoln
Again I admonish you not to be turned from your stern purpose of defending your beloved country and its free institutions by any arguments urged by ambitious and designing men, but stand fast to the Union and the old flag.
Abraham Lincoln
Stand with anybody that stands right, stand with him while he is right and part with him when he goes wrong.
Abraham Lincoln
I am satisfied that when the Almighty wants me to do or not do any particular thing, He finds a way of letting me know it
Abraham Lincoln
We seek not to overthrow the constitution, but to overthrow those who would prevert it.
Abraham Lincoln
The Cause of civil liberty must not be surrendered at the end of one, or even one hundred defeats.
Abraham Lincoln
Let the people know the truth and the country is safe.
Abraham Lincoln
If the union of these States, and the liberties of this people, shall be lost, it is but little to any one man of fifty-two yearsof age, but a great deal to the thirty millions of people who inhabit these United States, and to their posterity in all coming time.
Abraham Lincoln
