More quotes by Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
Human-nature will not change.
Abraham Lincoln
Let not him who is houseless pull down the house of another, but let him work diligently and build one for himself, thus by example assuring that his own shall be safe from violence when built.
Abraham Lincoln
Shall we stop this bleeding?
Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
Freedom is the last, best hope of earth.
Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
Bring me Longstreet's head on a platter and the war will be over
Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
We should be too big to take offense and too noble to give it.
Abraham Lincoln
That everyone may receive at least a moderate education appears to be an objective of vital importance.
Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
you can't escape tomorrow's responsibilities by evading it today
Abraham Lincoln
It's bad. It's damned bad.
Abraham Lincoln
Books serve to show a man that those original thoughts of his aren't very new at all.
Abraham Lincoln
The only person who is a worse liar than a faith healer is his patient.
Abraham Lincoln
If all do not join now to save the good old ship of the Union this voyage nobody will have a chance to pilot her on another voyage.
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
