More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
Our eldest boy, Bob, has been away from us nearly a year at school, and will enter Harvard University this month. He promises verywell, considering we never controlled him much.
Abraham Lincoln
The struggle of today, is not altogether for today - it is for a vast future also. With a reliance on Providence, all the more firm and earnest, let us proceed in the great task which events have devolved upon us.
Abraham Lincoln
Slavery is wrong. If Slavery is right, all words, acts, laws, and Constitutions against it, are themselves wrong, and should be silenced, and swept away.
Abraham Lincoln
You know you've reached middle age when all you exercise is caution
Abraham Lincoln
I am busily engaged in study of the Bible.
Abraham Lincoln
Lamon, that speech won't scour. It is a flat failure and the people are disappointed.
Abraham Lincoln
You can have anything you want if you want it badly enough. You can be anything you want to be, do anything you set out to accomplish if you hold to that desire with singleness of purpose.
Abraham Lincoln
Singular indeed the people should be writhing under oppression and injury, and yet not one among them to be found, to raise the voice of complaint.
Abraham Lincoln
Submitted to the Sec. of War. On principle I dislike an oath which requires a man to swear he has not done wrong. It rejects the Christian principle of forgiveness on terms of repentance. I think it is enough if the man does no wrong hereafter.
Abraham Lincoln
Great distance in either time or space has wonderful power to lull and render quiescent the human mind.
Abraham Lincoln
The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present.
Abraham Lincoln
Government, possessing the power to create and issue currency and credit as money and enjoying the right to withdraw both currency and credit from circulation by taxation and otherwise, need not and should not borrow capital at interest as a means of financing government work and public enterprises.
Abraham Lincoln
Adversity does not make us frail it only shows us how frail we are.
Abraham Lincoln
What are you gonna do for a face when the baboon wants his ass back?
Abraham Lincoln
Every man has a right to be equal with every other man.
Abraham Lincoln
Be with a leader when he is right, stay with him when he is still right, but, leave him when he is wrong.
Abraham Lincoln
I cannot make it better known than it already is that I strongly favor colonization.
Abraham Lincoln
You may have a wen or a cancer upon your person and not be able to cut it out lest you bleed to death but surely it is no way tocure it, to engraft it and spread it over your whole body.
Abraham Lincoln
The US patent system adds the fuel of interest to the fire of genius in the discovery and production of new and useful things
Abraham Lincoln
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
