Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
All things desirable to men are contained in the Bible.
Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
Government should stand behind its currency and credit and the bank deposits of the nation. No individual should suffer a loss of money through depreciation or inflated currency of Bank bankruptcy.
Abraham Lincoln
Again, a law may be both constitutional and expedient, and yet may be administered in an unjust and unfair way.
Abraham Lincoln
Do I not damage my enemies after i make them my close friends?
Abraham Lincoln
Be not deceived. Revolutions do not go backward.
Abraham Lincoln
I have always hated slavery, I think as much as any Abolitionist.
Abraham Lincoln
If we know where we are and something about how we got there, we might see where we are trending - and if the outcomes which lie naturally in our course are unacceptable, to make timely change.
Abraham Lincoln
