More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
Freedom is not the right to do what we want, but what we ought
Abraham Lincoln
The Government should create, issue, and circulate all the currency and credits needed to satisfy the spending power of the Government and the buying power of consumers. By the adoption of these principles, the taxpayers will be saved immense sums of interest. Money will cease to be master and become the servant of humanity.
Abraham Lincoln
I cannot imagine anyone looking at the sky and denying God.
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
Public sentiment is everything. With public sentiment, nothing can fail. Without it, nothing can succeed.
Abraham Lincoln
You cannot help small men by tearing down big men.
Abraham Lincoln
All creation is a mine, and every man a miner.
Abraham Lincoln
Allow the president to invade a neighboring nation, whenever he shall deem it necessary to repel an invasion, and you allow him to do so whenever he may choose to say he deems it necessary for such a purpose - and you allow him to make war at pleasure.
Abraham Lincoln
Nothing new here, except my marrying, which to me is a matter of profound wonder.
Abraham Lincoln
A right result, at this time, will be worth more to the world, than ten times the men, and ten times the money.
Abraham Lincoln
You are green, it is true but they are green also. You are all green alike.
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
Were it not for my little jokes, I could not bear the burdens of this office.
Abraham Lincoln
I never had a policy I have just tried to do my very best each and every day.
Abraham Lincoln
As a peacemaker the lawyer has superior opportunity of being a good man.
Abraham Lincoln
These men ask for just the same thing, fairness, and fairness only. This, so far as in my power, they, and all others, shall have.
Abraham Lincoln
Honor to the soldier and sailor everywhere, who bravely bears his country's cause. Honor, also, to the citizen who cares for his brother in the field and serves, as he best can, the same cause.
Abraham Lincoln
Tangible language, which often tells more falsehoods than truths.
Abraham Lincoln
It's time for me to go. But I would rather stay.
Abraham Lincoln
I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true.
Abraham Lincoln
