More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
We must settle this question now -- whether in a free government the minority have the right to break it up whenever they choose. If we fail, it will go far to prove the incapability of the people to govern themselves.
Abraham Lincoln
I have never had a feeling politically that did not spring from the sentiments embodied in the Declaration of Independence.
Abraham Lincoln
This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it.
Abraham Lincoln
In this age, in this country, public sentiment is everything. With it, nothing can fail against it, nothing can succeed. Whoever molds public sentiment goes deeper than he who enacts statutes, or pronounces judicial decisions.
Abraham Lincoln
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.
Abraham Lincoln
Teach the children so it will not be necessary to teach the adults.
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
Towering genius distains a beaten path.
Abraham Lincoln
That we we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain - that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom - and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
Abraham Lincoln
I cannot bring myself to believe that any human being lives who would do me any harm.
Abraham Lincoln
I have seen your despatch expressing your unwillingness to break your hold where you are. Neither am I willing. Hold on with a bull-dog gripe, and chew & choke, as much as possible.
Abraham Lincoln
Better to remain silent and thought a fool, than to speak out and confirm that you didn't do the assigned readings before the strategic planning retreat.
Abraham Lincoln
Military necessity does not admit of cruelty - that is, the infliction of suffering for the sake of suffering or for revenge, . . . nor of torture to extort confessions.
Abraham Lincoln
The surest way to reveal one's character is not through adversity but by giving them power.
Abraham Lincoln
I would like to speak in terms of praise due to the many brave officers and soldiers who have fought in the cause of the war.
Abraham Lincoln
Ballots are the rightful and peaceful successors of bullets, and that when ballots have fairly and constitutionall y decided there can be no successful appeal back to bullets.
Abraham Lincoln
May the Almighty grant that the cause of truth, justice, and humanity, shall in no wise suffer at my hands.
Abraham Lincoln
Thus let bygones be bygones. Let past differences, as nothing be.
Abraham Lincoln
We should be too big to take offense and too noble to give it.
Abraham Lincoln
Violence begins where knowledge ends.
Abraham Lincoln
