Quote

I am now the most miserable man living. If what I feel equally distributed to the whole human family, there would not be one cheerful face on the earth. Whether I shall ever be better, I cannot tell I awfully forebode I shall not. To remain as I am is impossible. I must die or be better, it appears to me.

Abraham Lincoln

...Let us discard all this quibbling about this man and the other man-this race and that race and the other race being inferior, and therefore they must be placed in and inferior position...Let us discard all these things, and unite as one people throughout this land, until we shall once more stand up declaring that all men are created equal.

Must a government be too strong for the liberties of its people or too weak to maintain its own existence?
Abraham Lincoln

The shepherd drives the wolf from the sheep's for which the sheep thanks the shepherd as his liberator, while the wolf denounces him for the same act as the destroyer of liberty. Plainly, the sheep and the wolf are not agreed upon a definition of liberty.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
In any future great national trial, compared with the men of this, we shall have as weak, and as strong as silly and as wise asbad and good.
Abraham Lincoln
Image

We can not have free government without elections and if the rebellion could force us to forego, or postpone a national election it might fairly claim to have already conquered and ruined us.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
It is for us and our time...to say the right makes might.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Let us diligently apply the means, never doubting that a just God, in his own good time, will give us the rightful result.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
The sense of obligation to continue is present in all of us. A duty to strive is the duty of us all. I felt a call to that duty.
Abraham Lincoln

Every head should be cultivated.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
If I am killed, I can die by once but to live in constant dread of it, is to die over and over again.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I never knew a man who wished to be himself a slave. Consider if you know any good thing, that no man desires for himself.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Shall we stop this bleeding?
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I hate it because of the monstrous injustice of slavery itself. I hate it because it deprives our republican example of its just influence in the world.
