I belive that people should fight for what they believe and only what they believe.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
The people know their rights, and they are never slow to assert and maintain them, when they are invaded.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I dared not trust the case on the presumption that the court knows everything. In fact, I argued it on the presumption that the court didn't know anything.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
In all that people can do for themselves, government ought not to interfere.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
In giving freedom to the slave, we assure freedom to the free - honorable alike in what we give and what we preserve. We shall nobly save, or meanly lose, the last best hope of earth.
Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
Image
I believe the declaration that ‘all men are created equal’ is the great fundamental principle upon which our free institutions rest.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I shall always think of myself first and foremost... as a hunter.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Have I not destroyed my enemy when I have made him into my friend?
Abraham Lincoln

Next to creating a life the finest thing a man can do is save one.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
It is to deny, what the history of the world tells us is true, to suppose that men of ambition and talents will not continue to spring up amongst us. And, when they do, they will as naturally seek the gratification of their ruling passion, as others have so done before them.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Our common country is in great peril, demanding the loftiest views, and boldest action to bring it speedy relief. Once relieved, its form of government is saved to the world its beloved history, and cherished memories, are vindicated and its happy future fully assured, and rendered inconceivably grand.

Man is not the only animal who labors but he is the only one who improves his workmanship.
Abraham Lincoln

I think I stand where that man stands.
