More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
A fellow once came to me to ask for an appointment as a minister abroad. Finding he could not get that, he came down to some more modest position. Finally, he asked to be made a tide-waiter. When he saw he could not get that, he asked me for an old pair of trousers. It is sometimes well to be humble.
Abraham Lincoln
We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution.
Abraham Lincoln
But fight we must and conquer we shall in the end.
Abraham Lincoln
Legislation and adjudication must follow, and conform to, the progress of society.
Abraham Lincoln
The people themselves, and not their servants, can safely reverse their own deliberate decisions.
Abraham Lincoln

Through that period, it was felt by all, to be an undecided experiment now, it is understood to be a successful one.
Abraham Lincoln
This is a world of compensations and he who would be no slave, must consent to have no slave.
Abraham Lincoln
The Government should create, issue, and circulate all the currency and credits needed to satisfy the spending power of the Government and the buying power of consumers. By the adoption of these principles, the taxpayers will be saved immense sums of interest. Money will cease to be master and become the servant of humanity.
Abraham Lincoln
Wanting to work is so rare a merit, that it should be encouraged.
Abraham Lincoln
A child is a person who is going to carry on what you have started ... the fate of humanity is in his hands.
Abraham Lincoln
I think that if anything can be proved by natural theology, it is that slavery is morally wrong. God gave man a mouth to receive bread, hands to feed it, and his hand has a right to carry bread to his mouth without controversy.
Abraham Lincoln
With educated people, I suppose, punctuation is a matter of rule with me it is a matter of feeling. But I must say I have a great respect for the semicolin it's a useful little chap
Abraham Lincoln
Military glory-that attractive rainbow, that rises in showers of blood-that serpent's eye, that charms to destroy.
Abraham Lincoln
I never had a policy I have just tried to do my very best each and every day.
Abraham Lincoln
I would rather be a little nobody, then to be a evil somebody.
Abraham Lincoln
Force is all conquering, but it's victories are short lived.
Abraham Lincoln
Nothing new here, except my marrying, which to me is a matter of profound wonder.
Abraham Lincoln
Don't swap horses in the middle of the stream.
Abraham Lincoln
