More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
So plain that no one, high or low, ever does mistake it, except in a plainly selfish way for although volume upon volume is written to prove slavery a very good thing, we never hear of the man who wishes to take the good of it, by being a slave himself.
Abraham Lincoln
Gold is good in its place, but living, brave, patriotic men are better than gold.
Abraham Lincoln
He has a right to criticize, who has a heart to help.
Abraham Lincoln
When arguing with a fool, make sure the opponent isn't doing the exact same thing.
Abraham Lincoln
Achievement has no color
Abraham Lincoln
Important principles may, and must, be inflexible.
Abraham Lincoln
Few can be induced to labor exclusively for posterity and none will do it enthusiastically. Posterity has done nothing for us and theorize on it as we may, practically we shall do very little for it, unless we are made to think we are at the same time doing something for ourselves.
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
Extemporaneous speaking should be practised and cultivated. It is the lawyer's avenue to the public.
Abraham Lincoln
I want in all cases to do right.
Abraham Lincoln
We have, as all will agree, a free Government, where every man has a right to be equal with every other man. In this great struggle, this form of Government and every form of human right is endangered if our enemies succeed.
Abraham Lincoln
The case of Andrews is really a very bad one, as appears by the record already before me. Yet before receiving this I had orderedhis punishment commuted to imprisonmentand had so telegraphed. I did this, not on any merit in the case, but because I am trying to evade the butchering business lately.
Abraham Lincoln
The best way to get rid of your enemies is to make them your friends.
Abraham Lincoln
I will do what I think is right and when I discover that it is wrong, I will change it.
Abraham Lincoln
Money will cease to be master and become the servant of humanity. Democracy will rise superior to the money power.
Abraham Lincoln
That our government should have been maintained in its original form from its establishment until now, is not much to be wondered at. It had many props to support it through that period, which now are decayed, and crumbled away. Through that period, it was felt by all, to be an undecided experiment now, it is understood to be a successful one.
Abraham Lincoln
As the problems are new, we must disenthrall ourselves from the past.
Abraham Lincoln
A nation may be said to consist of its territory, its people, and its laws. The territory is the only part which is of certain durability.
Abraham Lincoln
Government should stand behind its currency and credit and the bank deposits of the nation. No individual should suffer a loss of money through depreciation or inflated currency of Bank bankruptcy.
Abraham Lincoln
I believe I shall never be old enough to speak without embarrassment when I have nothing to talk about.
Abraham Lincoln
