More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
I shall adopt new views as fast as they shall appear to be true views.
Abraham Lincoln
I am for those means which will give the greatest good to the greatest number.
Abraham Lincoln
It is the eternal struggle between these two principles - right and wrong. They are the two principles that have stood face to face from the beginning of time and will ever continue to struggle. It is the same spirit that says, You work and toil and earn bread, and I'll eat it.
Abraham Lincoln
The plainest print cannot be read through a gold eagle.
Abraham Lincoln
The foregoing history may not be precisely accurate in every particular but I am sure it is sufficiently so, for all the uses I shall attempt to make of it, and in it, we have before us, the chief material enabling us to correctly judge whether the repeal of the Missouri Compromise is right or wrong.
Abraham Lincoln
What is conservatism? Is it not the adherence to the old and tried against the new and untried?
Abraham Lincoln
We accepted this war for an object, a worthy object, and the war will end when that object is attained. Under God, I hope it never will until that time.
Abraham Lincoln
Human nature will not change. In any future great national trial, compared with the men of this, we shall have as weak and as strong, as silly and as wise, as bad and as good. Let us therefore study the incidents in this as philosophy to learn wisdom from and none of them as wrongs to be avenged.
Abraham Lincoln
Whether or not the world would be vastly benefited by a total banishment from it of all intoxicating drinks seems not now an open question. Three-fourths of mankind confess the affirmative with their tongues, and I believe all the rest acknowledge it in their hearts.
Abraham Lincoln
The strength of a nation lies in the homes of its people.
Abraham Lincoln
Do not destroy that immortal emblem of humanity, the Declaration of Independence.
Abraham Lincoln
If frienship is your weakest point then you are the strongest person in the world.
Abraham Lincoln
It is bad to be poor. I shall go to the wall for bread and meat, if I neglect my business this year as well as last.
Abraham Lincoln
Am I not destroying my enemies when I make friends of them?
Abraham Lincoln
Let us renew our trust in god, and go forward without fear.
Abraham Lincoln
Love is the chain whereby to bind a child to its parents.
Abraham Lincoln
He will have to learn, I know, that all people are not just- that all men and women are not true. Teach him that for every scoundrel there is a hero that for every enemy there is a friend. Let him learn early that the bullies are the easiest people to lick.
Abraham Lincoln
Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe.
Abraham Lincoln
Marriage is neither heaven nor hell, it is simply purgatory.
Abraham Lincoln
I remember my mother's prayers and they have always followed me. They have clung to me all my life.
Abraham Lincoln
