More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
Whether or not the world would be vastly benefited by a total banishment from it of all intoxicating drinks seems not now an open question. Three-fourths of mankind confess the affirmative with their tongues, and I believe all the rest acknowledge it in their hearts.
Abraham Lincoln
A new book is like a friend that I have yet to meet
Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
I have endured a great deal of ridicule without much malice and have received a great deal of kindness, not quite free from ridicule. I am used to it.

Abraham Lincoln
To stand in silence when they should be protesting makes cowards of men.
Abraham Lincoln
It is not our frowning battlements...or the strength our gallant and disciplined army? These are not our reliance against a resumption of tyranny in our fair land... Our defense is in the preservation of the spirit which prizes liberty as the heritage of all men, in all lands, everywhere.
Abraham Lincoln
The strength of a nation lies in the homes of its people.
Abraham Lincoln
As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master. This expresses my idea of democracy.
Abraham Lincoln
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
All I ask for the negro is that if you do not like him, let him alone. If God gave him but little, that little let him enjoy.
Abraham Lincoln
Tangible language, which often tells more falsehoods than truths.
Abraham Lincoln
You cannot help small men by tearing down big men.
Abraham Lincoln
