More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
A child is a person who is going to carry on what you have started ... He will assume control of your cities, states and nations. He is going to move in and take over your churches, schools, universities, and corporations ... The fate of humanity is in his hands.
Abraham Lincoln
I turn, then, and look to the American people and to that God who has never forsaken them.
Abraham Lincoln
I will learn, the opportunity will come.
Abraham Lincoln
If we cannot give freedom to every creature, let us do nothing that will impose slavery upon any other creature.
Abraham Lincoln
A man watches his pear-tree day after day, impatient for the ripening of the fruit. Let him attempt to force the process, and he may spoil both fruit and tree. But let him patiently wait, and the ripe pear at length falls into his lap.
Abraham Lincoln
That on the first day of January, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred ans sixty-three, all persons held as slaves within any state or designated part of a State, the people whereof shall then be in rebellion against the United States, shall be then, thence forward, and forever free.
Abraham Lincoln
One eighth of the whole population were colored slaves, not distributed generally over the Union, but localized in the Southern part of it. These slaves constituted a peculiar and powerful interest. All knew that this interest was, somehow, the cause of the war.
Abraham Lincoln
I would rather be a little nobody, then to be a evil somebody.
Abraham Lincoln
Whether or not the world would be vastly benefited by a total banishment from it of all intoxicating drinks seems not now an open question. Three-fourths of mankind confess the affirmative with their tongues, and I believe all the rest acknowledge it in their hearts.
Abraham Lincoln
Our republican system was meant for a homogeneous people. As long as blacks continue to live with the whites they constitute a threat to the national life. Family life may also collapse and the increase of mixed breed bastards may some day challenge the supremacy of the white man.
Abraham Lincoln
I can't spare this man, he fights!
Abraham Lincoln
Whether you look for the good or look for the bad in a person, you'll find it. A. Lincoln
Abraham Lincoln
I have an irrepressible desire to live till I can be assured that the world is a little better for my having lived in it.
Abraham Lincoln
A jury too often has at least one member more ready to hang the panel than to hang the traitor.
Abraham Lincoln
And upon this act [Emancipation Proclamation]...I invoke...the gracious favor of Almighty God.
Abraham Lincoln
I think that if anything can be proved by natural theology, it is that slavery is morally wrong. God gave man a mouth to receive bread, hands to feed it, and his hand has a right to carry bread to his mouth without controversy.
Abraham Lincoln
Honor is better than honors.
Abraham Lincoln
To give victory to the right, not bloody bullets, but peaceful ballots only, are necessary.
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
I cannot imagine anyone looking at the sky and denying God.
Abraham Lincoln
