More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
I do the very best I can, I mean to keep going. If the end brings me out all right, then what is said against me won't matter. If I'm wrong, ten angels swearing I was right won't make a difference.
Abraham Lincoln
With firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right.
Abraham Lincoln
Marriage is neither heaven nor hell, it is simply purgatory.
Abraham Lincoln
I think that God means that we shall do more than we have yet done in furtherance of his plans and he will open the way for our doing it.
Abraham Lincoln
You cannot help small men by tearing down big men.
Abraham Lincoln
As we keep or break the Sabbath Day we nobly save or meanly lose the last best hope by which man rises.
Abraham Lincoln
The worst thing you can do for anyone you care about is anything that they can do on their own.
Abraham Lincoln
My paramount objective in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not to either save or destroy Slavery.
Abraham Lincoln
You cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today.
Abraham Lincoln
This nation under God
Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
Doubtless you begin to understand how disagreeable it is to me to do a thing arbitrarily, when it is unsatisfactory to others associated with me.
Abraham Lincoln
In all that people can do for themselves, government ought not to interfere.
Abraham Lincoln
We meet this evening, not in sorrow, but in gladness of heart.
Abraham Lincoln
Persuasion, kind, unassuming persuasion, should be adopted to influence the conduct of men. The opposite course would be a reversal of human nature, which is God's decree and can never be reversed.
Abraham Lincoln
So plain that no one, high or low, ever does mistake it, except in a plainly selfish way for although volume upon volume is written to prove slavery a very good thing, we never hear of the man who wishes to take the good of it, by being a slave himself.
Abraham Lincoln
I have always thought that all men should be free but if any should be slaves, it should be first those who desire for themselves, and secondly those who desire it for others. Whenever I hear anyone arguing for slavery, I feel a strong impulse to see it tried on him personally.
Abraham Lincoln
Your rights end where my nose begins.
Abraham Lincoln
My friends I now leave, not knowing when, or whether ever, I may return, with a task before me greater than that which rested upon Washington. Without the assistance of that Divine Being, who ever attended him, I cannot succeed. With that assistance, I cannot fail.
Abraham Lincoln
It's bad. It's damned bad.
Abraham Lincoln
