More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
Liquor may have its defenders, but it has no defense.
Abraham Lincoln
The Bible is not my book nor Christianity my profession. I could never give assent to the long, complicated statements of Christian dogma.
Abraham Lincoln
in times like the present, men should utter nothing for which they would not willingly be responsible through time and eternity.
Abraham Lincoln
There are no accidents in my philosophy. Every effect must have its cause. The past is the cause of the present, and the present will be the cause of the future. All these are links in the endless chain stretching from the finite to the infinite.
Abraham Lincoln
We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory will swell when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.
Abraham Lincoln
I hope to stand firm enough to not go backward, and yet not go forward fast enough to wreck the country's cause.
Abraham Lincoln
No man is good enough to govern another man without the other's consent.
Abraham Lincoln
Wanting to work is so rare a merit, that it should be encouraged.
Abraham Lincoln
The strength of a nation lies in the homes of its people.
Abraham Lincoln
Half finished work generally proves to be labor lost.
Abraham Lincoln
In giving freedom to the slave, we assure freedom to the free.
Abraham Lincoln
Weakness is what keeps driving us to God, by the overwhelming conviction that there just isn't anywhere else to go.
Abraham Lincoln
I certainly know that if the war fails, the administration fails, and that I will be blamed for it, whether I deserve it or not. And I ought to be blamed, if I could do better. You think I could do better therefore you blame me already. I think I could not do better therefore I blame you for blaming me.
Abraham Lincoln
Lincoln called laughter the joyous, beautiful, universal evergreen of life.
Abraham Lincoln
Tact is the ability to describe others as they see themselves.
Abraham Lincoln
We can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorn bushes have roses.
Abraham Lincoln
It's not me who can't keep a secret. It's the people I tell that can't.
Abraham Lincoln
Do you think we choose the times into which we are born? Or do we fit the times we are born into?
Abraham Lincoln
All the armies of Europe, Asia and Africa combined, with all the treasure of the earth (our own excepted) in their military chest with a Buonaparte for a commander, could not by force, take a drink from the Ohio, or make a track on the Blue Ridge, in a trial of a thousand years.
Abraham Lincoln
The Constitution is not a suicide pact.
Abraham Lincoln
