The very spot where grew the bread that formed my bones, I see. How strange, old field, on thee to tread, and feel I'm part of thee.

More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
I am greatly obliged to you, and to all who have come forward at the call of their country.
Abraham Lincoln
I believe the declaration that ‘all men are created equal’ is the great fundamental principle upon which our free institutions rest.
Abraham Lincoln
I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours, to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of Freedom.
Abraham Lincoln
There are no accidents in my philosophy. Every effect must have its cause. The past is the cause of the present, and the present will be the cause of the future. All these are links in the endless chain stretching from the finite to the infinite.
Abraham Lincoln
You cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today.
Abraham Lincoln
Be excellent and party on dudes.
Abraham Lincoln
When you make it to the top, turn and reach down for the person behind you.
Abraham Lincoln
The unpleasant events you are passing from will not have been profitless to you.
Abraham Lincoln
It is to deny, what the history of the world tells us is true, to suppose that men of ambition and talents will not continue to spring up amongst us. And, when they do, they will as naturally seek the gratification of their ruling passion, as others have so done before them.
Abraham Lincoln
Relying, as I do, upon the Almighty Power, and encouraged as I am by these resolutions which you have just read, with the support which I receive from Christian men, I shall not hesitate to use all the means at my control to secure the termination of this rebellion, and will hope for success.
Abraham Lincoln
If both factions, or neither, shall abuse you, you will probably be about right. Beware of being assailed by one and praised by the other.
Abraham Lincoln
No country can sustain, in idleness, more than a small percentage of its numbers. The great majority must labor at something productive.
Abraham Lincoln
Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration
Abraham Lincoln
I laugh because I must not cry, that is all, that is all.
Abraham Lincoln
Through their deeds, the dead of battle have spoken more eloquently for themselves than any of the living ever could. But we can only honor them by rededicating ourselves to the cause for which they gave a last full measure of devotion.
Abraham Lincoln
My faith in the proposition that each man should do precisely as he pleases with all which is exclusively his own lies at the foundation of the sense of justice there is in me.
Abraham Lincoln
I am nothing, truth is everything.
Abraham Lincoln
The good old maxims of the Bible are applicable, and truly applicable to human affairs, and in this as in other things, we may say here that he who is not for us is against us he would gathereth not with us scattereth.
Abraham Lincoln
The ant, who has toiled and dragged a crumb to his nest, will furiously defend the fruit of his labor, against whatever robber assails him. So plain, that the most dumb and stupid slave that ever toiled for a master, does constantly know that he is wronged.
Abraham Lincoln
All creation is a mine, and every man a miner. The whole earth, and all within it, upon it, and round about it, including himself ... are the infinitely various leads from which, man, from the first, was to dig out his destiny.
Abraham Lincoln
