More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
Be excellent and party on dudes.
Abraham Lincoln
If you trust, you will be disappointed occasionally, but if you mistrust, you will be miserable all the time.
Abraham Lincoln
Neither party expected for the war, the magnitude, or the duration, which it has already attained. Neither anticipated that the cause of the conflict might cease with, or even before, the conflict itself should cease.
Abraham Lincoln
When you lack interest in the case the job will very likely lack skill and diligence in the performance.
Abraham Lincoln
I have always believed that a good laugh was good for both the mental and physical digestion.
Abraham Lincoln
You cannot have the right to do what is wrong!
Abraham Lincoln
That we we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain - that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom - and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
Abraham Lincoln
If we could first know where we are, and whither we are tending, we could then better judge what to do, and how to do it.
Abraham Lincoln
Whatever spiteful fools may say, Each jealous ranting yelper, No woman ever went astray, Without a man to help her
Abraham Lincoln
I never had a policy I have just tried to do my very best each and every day.
Abraham Lincoln
Politics, as a trade, finds most and leaves nearly all dishonest.
Abraham Lincoln
If I care to listen to every criticism, let alone act on them, then this shop may as well be closed for all other businesses. I have learned to do my best, and if the end result is good then I do not care for any criticism, but if the end result is not good, then even the praise of ten angels would not make the difference.
Abraham Lincoln
There is something so ludicrous in promises of good or threats of evil a great way off as to render the whole subject with which they are connected easily turned into ridicule.
Abraham Lincoln
I am naturally anti-slavery. If slavery is not wrong, nothing is wrong. I can not remember when I did not so think, and feel. And yet I have never understood that the Presidency conferred upon me an unrestricted right to act officially upon this judgment and feeling.
Abraham Lincoln
That our government should have been maintained in its original form from its establishment until now, is not much to be wondered at. It had many props to support it through that period, which now are decayed, and crumbled away. Through that period, it was felt by all, to be an undecided experiment now, it is understood to be a successful one.
Abraham Lincoln
Friends, I agree with you in Providence but I believe in the Providence of the most men, the largest purse, and the longest cannon.
Abraham Lincoln
The worst thing you can do for anyone you care about is anything that they can do on their own.
Abraham Lincoln
Whenever I hear anyone arguing for slavery, I feel a strong impulse to see it tried on him personally.
Abraham Lincoln
In order to win a man to your cause, you must first reach his heart, the great high road to his reason.
Abraham Lincoln
A day spent helping no one but yourself is a day wasted.
Abraham Lincoln
