More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
Cling to liberty and right battle fro them leed for them die for them, if need be and have confidence in God.
Abraham Lincoln
No policy that does not rest upon some philosophical public opinion can be permanently maintained.
Abraham Lincoln
It is the man who does not want to express an opinion whose opinion I want.
Abraham Lincoln
We find ourselves under the government of a system of political institutions, conducing more essentially to the ends of civil and religious liberty, than any of which the history of former times tells us.
Abraham Lincoln
Such will be a great lesson of peace: teaching men that what they cannot take by an election, neither can they take it by war.
Abraham Lincoln
Did Stanton say I was a damned fool? Then I dare say I must be one, for Stanton is generally right and he always says what he means.
Abraham Lincoln
Thoughtful men must feel that the fate of civilization upon this continent is involved in the issue of our contest. Among the most satisfying proofs of this conviction is the hearty devotion everywhere exhibited by our schools and colleges to the national cause.
Abraham Lincoln
When someone asked Abraham Lincoln, after he was elected president, what he was going to do about his enemies, he replied, I am going to destroy them. I am going to make them my friends.
Abraham Lincoln
Twenty-two years ago Judge [then-Senator Stephen] Douglas and I first became acquainted. We were both young then he a trifle younger than I. Even then, we were both ambitious I, perhaps, quite as much so as he. With me, the race of ambition has been a failure--a flat failure with him it has been one of splendid success.
Abraham Lincoln
You have confidence in yourself, which is valuable, if not an indispensable quality.
Abraham Lincoln
Let every man remember that to violate the law, is to trample on the blood of his father, and to tear the character of his own, and his children's liberty.
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
History is not history unless it is the truth.
Abraham Lincoln
I have never had a feeling politically that did not spring from the sentiments embodied in the Declaration of Independence.
Abraham Lincoln
The only person who is a worse liar than a faith healer is his patient.
Abraham Lincoln
If this country is ever demoralized, it will come from trying to live without work.
Abraham Lincoln
Never stir up litigation. A worse man can scarcely be found than one who does this.
Abraham Lincoln
There are no bad pictures that's just how your face looks sometimes.
Abraham Lincoln
Character is the tree, reputation is the shadow.
Abraham Lincoln
We will make converts day by day we will grow strong by the violence and injustice of our adversaries. And, unless truth be a mockery and justice a hollow lie, we will be in the majority after a while.
Abraham Lincoln
