More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
Peace does not appear so distant as it did. I hope it will come soon, and come to stay and so come as to be worth the keeping in all future time.
Abraham Lincoln
I believe, if we take habitual drunkards as a class, their heads and their hearts will bear an advantageous comparison with those of any other class. There seems ever to have been a proneness in the brilliant and warm-blooded to fall into this vice.
Abraham Lincoln
The press has no better friend than I am, no one who is more ready to acknowledge . . . its tremendous power for both good and evil.
Abraham Lincoln
God bless the Methodist Church - bless all the churches - and blessed be God, Who, in this our great trial, giveth us the churches.
Abraham Lincoln
Submitted to the Sec. of War. On principle I dislike an oath which requires a man to swear he has not done wrong. It rejects the Christian principle of forgiveness on terms of repentance. I think it is enough if the man does no wrong hereafter.
Abraham Lincoln
Character is the tree, reputation is the shadow.
Abraham Lincoln
If we could first know where we are, and whither we are tending, we could then better judge what to do, and how to do it.
Abraham Lincoln
The negative principle that no law is free law, is not much known except among lawyers.
Abraham Lincoln
I was elected a Captain of Volunteers--a success which gave me more pleasure than any I have had since.
Abraham Lincoln
I intend no modification of my oft-expressed wish that all men everywhere could be free.
Abraham Lincoln
I always [or often] walk slowly, but I never walk backwards.
Abraham Lincoln
He who represents himself has a fool for a client
Abraham Lincoln
You cannot fail unless you quit.
Abraham Lincoln
Our common country is in great peril, demanding the loftiest views, and boldest action to bring it speedy relief.
Abraham Lincoln
The Democracy of to-day hold the liberty of one man to be absolutely nothing, when in conflict with another mans right of property. Republicans, on the contrary, are for both the man and the dollar but in cases of conflict, the man before the dollar.
Abraham Lincoln
In the first place, I insist that our fathers did not make this nation half slave and half free, or part slave and part free. I insist that they found the institution of slavery existing here. They did not make it so, but they left it so because they knew of no way to get rid of it at that time.
Abraham Lincoln
Every man has a right to be equal with every other man.
Abraham Lincoln
My Dear McClellan, if you don't want to use the army I should like to borrow it for a while. Yours respectfully.
Abraham Lincoln
If you wish to be a lawyer, attach no consequence to the place you are in, or the person you are with but get books, sit down anywhere, and go to reading for yourself. That will make a lawyer of you quicker than any other way.
Abraham Lincoln
Discourage litigation. Persuade your neighbors to compromise whenever you can.
Abraham Lincoln
