Quote

Freedom is the natural condition of the human race, in which the Almighty intended men to live. Those who fight the purpose of the Almighty will not succeed. They always have been, they always will be beaten.

More quotes by Abraham Lincoln

Image
To ease another’s heartache is to forget one’s own.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Surely God would not have created such a being as man, with an ability to grasp the infinite, to exist only for a day! No, no, man was made for immortality.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I could not sleep when I got on the hunt for an idea, until I had caught it. This was a kind of passion with me, and it has stuck with me.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Work, work, work, is the main thing.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I am for . . . each individual doing just as he chooses in all matters which concern nobody else.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
God bless the soldiers and seamen, with all their brave commanders.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
The leading rule for the lawyer, as for the man of every other calling, is diligence. Leave nothing for to-morrow which can be done to-day. Never let your correspondence fall behind. Whatever piece of business you have in hand, before stopping, do all the labor pertaining to it which can then be done.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
The Union, and the Constitution, are the picture of silver, subsequently framed around it. The picture was not made to conceal or destroy the apple, but to adorn and preserve it. The picture was made for the apple-not the apple for the picture.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I have two great enemies, the Southern Army in front of me and the bankers in the rear. Of the two, the one at my rear is my greatest foe.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
As we keep or break the Sabbath Day we nobly save or meanly lose the last best hope by which man rises.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Do the people of the South really entertain fears that a Republican administration would, directly, or indirectly, interfere with their slaves, or with them, about their slaves? If they do, I wish to assure you, as once a friend, and still, I hope, not an enemy, that there is no cause for such fears.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I have always believed that a good laugh was good for both the mental and physical digestion.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Discourage litigation. Persuade your neighbors to compromise whenever you can.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
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
Image
We must not promise what we ought not, lest we be called on to perform what we cannot.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
The land-grant university system is being built on behalf of the people, who have invested in these public universities their hopes, their support, and their confidence.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Much is being said about peace and no man desires peace more ardently than I. Still I am yet unprepared to give up the Union fora peace which, so achieved, could not be of much duration.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Peace will come soon to stay, and so come as to be worth keeping in all future time. It will then have proved that among free men there can be no successful appeal from the ballot to the bullet, and that they who take such appeal are sure their cases and pay the costs.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I believe the Bible is the best gift God has ever given to man.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I fear you do not fully comprehend the danger of abridging the liberties of the people. Nothing but the sternest necessity can ever justify it. A government had better go to the extreme of toleration, than to do aught that could be construed into an interference with, or to jeopardize in any degree, the common rights of its citizens.
