Do I not damage my enemies after i make them my close friends?
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Nowhere in the world is presented a government of so much liberty and equality. To the humblest and poorest amongst us are held out the highest privileges and positions. The present moment finds me at the White House, yet there is as good a chance for your children as there was for my father's.
Abraham Lincoln

While I am deeply sensible to the high compliment of a re-election and duly grateful, as I trust, to Almighty God for having directed my countrymen to a right conclusion, as I think, for their own good, it adds nothing to my satisfaction that any other man may be disappointed or pained by the result.
Abraham Lincoln

The occasion is piled high with difficulty. We must rise to the occasion.
Abraham Lincoln

Public opinion in this country is everything.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Ere long the most valuable of all arts will be the art of deriving a comfortable subsistence from the smallest area of soil. No community where every member possesses the art can ever be the victim of oppression in any of its forms.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
My God! My God! What will the country say?
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Gold is good in its place, but living, brave, patriotic men are better than gold.
Abraham Lincoln

I think I stand where that man stands.
Abraham Lincoln

I don't know who my grandfather was I am much more concerned to know what his grandson will be.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
We know nothing of what will happen in future, but by the analogy of experience.
Abraham Lincoln

Important principles may, and must, be inflexible.
