Abraham Lincoln
He who sees cruelty and does nothing about it is himself cruel.
Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
Most people are as happy as they want to be.
Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
A Prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles upon which our government was founded.
Abraham Lincoln
The highest art is always the most religious, and the greatest artist is always a devout person.
Abraham Lincoln
An allusion has been made to the Homestead Law. I think it worthy of consideration, and that the wild lands of the country should be distributed so that every man should have the means and opportunity of benefitting his condition.
Abraham Lincoln
With high hope for the future, no prediction is ventured.
Abraham Lincoln
I would rather be assassinated than see a single star removed from the American flag.
Abraham Lincoln
Let there be no compromise on the question of extending slavery. If there be, all our labor is lost, and, ere long, must be done again.
Abraham Lincoln
Well, I wish some of you would tell me the brand of whiskey that Grant drinks. I would like to send a barrel of it to my other generals.
Abraham Lincoln
