More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
Wanting to work is so rare a merit, that it should be encouraged.
Abraham Lincoln
We shall meanly lose or nobly save the last hope of earth.
Abraham Lincoln
I care not much for a man's religion whose dog and cat are not the better for it.
Abraham Lincoln
At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide.
Abraham Lincoln
Military glory-that attractive rainbow, that rises in showers of blood-that serpent's eye, that charms to destroy.
Abraham Lincoln
Lets have faith that right makes might and in that faith let us, to the end, dare to do our duty as we understand it.
Abraham Lincoln
Don't judge a man by the size of his ego or his heart, but on the epicness of his beard and the beautiful woman on his arm
Abraham Lincoln
A statesman is he who thinks in the future generations, and a politician is he who thinks in the upcoming elections.
Abraham Lincoln
The world shall know that I will keep my faith to friends and enemies, come what will.
Abraham Lincoln
My father taught me to work, but not to love it. I never did like to work, and I don't deny it. I'd rather read, tell stories, crack jokes, talk, laugh -- anything but work.
Abraham Lincoln
We find ourselves under the government of a system of political institutions, conducing more essentially to the ends of civil and religious liberty, than any of which the history of former times tells us.
Abraham Lincoln
I cannot imagine anyone looking at the sky and denying God.
Abraham Lincoln
Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power.
Abraham Lincoln
Human-nature will not change.
Abraham Lincoln
A friend is one who has the same enemies as you have.
Abraham Lincoln
The power of hope upon human exertion, and happiness, is wonderful.
Abraham Lincoln
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
His argument is as thin as the homeopathic soup that was made by oiling the shadow of a pigeon that had been starved to death.
Abraham Lincoln
But fight we must and conquer we shall in the end.
Abraham Lincoln
We cannot ask a man what he will do, and if we should, and he should answer us, we should despise him for it. Therefore we must take a man whose opinions are known.
Abraham Lincoln
