If you understand what you're doing, you're not learning anything.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Familiarize yourselves with the chains of bondage and you prepare your own limbs to wear them. Accustomed to trample on the rights of others, you have lost the genius of your own independence and become the fit subjects of the first cunning tyrant who rises among you.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
If both factions, or neither, shall abuse you, you will probably be about right. Beware of being assailed by one and praised by the other.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
The Constitution is not a suicide pact.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
When I came of age I did not know much. Still somehow, I could read, write, and cipher to the Rule of Three.... The little advanceI now have upon this store of education, I have picked up from time to time under the pressure of necessity.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
When the conduct of men is designed to be influenced, persuasion, kind, unassuming persuasion, should ever be adopted. It is an old and a true maxim, that 'a drop of honey catches more flies than a gallon of gall.'
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Any people anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the right to rise up, and shake off the existing government, and form a new one that suits them better. This is a most valuable - a most sacred right - a right, which we hope and believe, is to liberate the world.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live up to the light I have. I must stand with anybody that stands right - stand with him while he is right and part with him when he goes wrong.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I have simply tried to do what seemed best each day, as each day came.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
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
Image
I can only say that I have acted upon my best convictions, without selfishness or malice, and that by the help of God I shall continue to do so.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Our government rests in public opinion. Whoever can change public opinion, can change the government, practically just so much.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I see a very dark cloud on America's horizon, and that cloud is coming from Rome.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
God is the silent partner in ALL great enterprises.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
It has been said that one bad general is better than two good ones, and the saying is true if taken to mean no more than that an army is better directed by a single mind, though inferior, than by two superior ones at variance and cross-purposes with each other.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
The power of hope upon human exertion, and happiness, is wonderful.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I hold the value of life is to improve one's condition. Whatever is calculated to advance the condition of the honest, struggling laboring man, so far as my judgment will enable me to judge of a correct thing, I am for that thing.
Abraham Lincoln
