Abraham Lincoln
Image
You may burn my body to ashes, and scatter them to the winds of heaven you may drag my soul down to the regions of darkness and despair to be tormented forever but you will never get me to support a measure which I believe to be wrong, although by doing so I may accomplish that which I believe to be right.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
The surest way to reveal one's character is not through adversity but by giving them power.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
The ballot is stronger than the bullet.
Abraham Lincoln

If there is no military need for the building, leave it alone, neither putting anyone in or out of it, except on finding some one preaching or practicing treason, in which case lay hands on him, just as if he were doing the same thing in any other building.
Abraham Lincoln

Too big to cry too young to laugh.
Abraham Lincoln
Image

Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
Image
This is a world of compensations and he who would be no slave, must consent to have no slave.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
When I am getting ready to reason with a man, I spend one-third of my time thinking about myself and what I am going to say and two-thirds about him and what he is going to say.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I do the very best I can, I mean to keep going. If the end brings me out all right, then what is said against me won't matter. If I'm wrong, ten angels swearing I was right won't make a difference.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Every head should be cultivated.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Let the people know the truth and the country is safe.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Our strife pertains to ourselves-to the passing generations of men-and it can without convulsion be hushed forever with the passing of one generation.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master. This expresses my idea of democracy.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
With the fearful strain that is on me night and day, if I did not laugh I should die.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
The unpleasant events you are passing from will not have been profitless to you.
