If you love something, set it free.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I never did ask more, nor ever was willing to accept less, than for all the States, and the people thereof, to take and hold their places, and their rights, in the Union, under the Constitution of the United States. For this alone have I felt authorized to struggle and I seek neither more nor less now.

Neither let us be slandered from our duty by false accusations against us, nor frightened from it by menaces of destruction ... nor of dungeons to ourselves. Let us have faith that right makes might, and in that faith, let us, to the end, dare to do our duty as we understand it.
Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
Image
If you are resolutely determined to make a lawyer of yourself, the thing is more than half done already.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Half finished work generally proves to be labor lost.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
It is your business to rise up and preserve the Union and liberty, for yourselves, and not for me. I desire they shall be constitutionally preserved.
Abraham Lincoln

It behooves us then to humble ourselves before the offended Power to confess our national sins and to pray for clemency and forgiveness.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
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
Image
I have neither time nor disposition to enter into discussion with the Friend, and end this occasion by suggesting for her consideration the question whether, if it be true that the Lord has appointed me to do the work she has indicated, it is not probable that he would have communicated knowledge of the fact to me as well as to her.
Abraham Lincoln

Those who look for the bad in people will surely find it.

Oh, that [his Thanksgiving Message] is some of Seward's nonsense, and it pleases the fools.
