More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
I can hardly believe that the South and North can live in peace, unless we can get rid of the negroes ... I believe that it would be better to export them all to some fertile country with a good climate, which they could have to themselves.
Abraham Lincoln
Slavery is founded on the selfishness of man's nature - opposition to it on his love of justice. These principles are in eternal antagonism and when brought into collision so fiercely as slavery extension brings them, shocks and throes and convulsions must ceaselessly follow.
Abraham Lincoln
There is more involved in this contest than is realized by every one. There is involved in this struggle the question whether your children and my children shall enjoy the privileges we have enjoyed.
Abraham Lincoln
You have confidence in yourself, which is valuable, if not an indispensable quality.
Abraham Lincoln
I would rather be assassinated than see a single star removed from the American flag.
Abraham Lincoln
Persuasion, kind, unassuming persuasion, should be adopted to influence the conduct of men. The opposite course would be a reversal of human nature, which is God's decree and can never be reversed.
Abraham Lincoln
Government, possessing the power to create and issue currency and credit as money and enjoying the right to withdraw both currency and credit from circulation by taxation and otherwise, need not and should not borrow capital at interest as a means of financing government work and public enterprises.
Abraham Lincoln
I intend no modification of my oft-expressed wish that all men everywhere could be free.
Abraham Lincoln
The power of hope upon human exertion, and happiness, is wonderful.
Abraham Lincoln
This human struggle and scramble for office, for a way to live without work, will finally test the strength of our institutions.
Abraham Lincoln
With firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right.
Abraham Lincoln
Senator Douglas holds, we know, that a man may rightfully be wiser today than he was yesterday - that he may rightfully change when he finds himself wrong. But can we, for that reason, run ahead, and infer that he will make any particular change, of which he, himself, has given no intimation?
Abraham Lincoln
I am nothing, truth is everything.
Abraham Lincoln
Certainly there is no contending against the Will of God but still there is some difficulty in ascertaining, and applying it, to particular cases.
Abraham Lincoln
Can treaties be more faithfully enforced between aliens than laws can among friends? Suppose you go to war, you cannot fight always and when, after much loss on both sides, and no gain on either, you cease fighting, the identical old questions as to terms of intercourse are again upon you.
Abraham Lincoln
I believe that every individual is naturally entitled to do as he pleases with himself and the fruits of his labor, so far as it in no way interferes with any other men's rights.
Abraham Lincoln
We shall meanly lose or nobly save the last hope of earth.
Abraham Lincoln
Let us renew our trust in god, and go forward without fear.
Abraham Lincoln
The human mind is impelled to action, or held in rest by some power, over which the mind itself has no control.
Abraham Lincoln
Do I not damage my enemies after i make them my close friends?
Abraham Lincoln
