More quotes by Abraham Lincoln

Image
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
Image
A noble spirit embiggens the smallest man.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
It is for us and our time...to say the right makes might.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
What are you gonna do for a face when the baboon wants his ass back?
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Negroes, like other people, act upon motives. Why should they do anything for us, if we will do nothing for them? If they stake their lives for us, they must be prompted by the strongest motive, even the promise of freedom. And the promise being made, must be kept.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Peace will come soon to stay, and so come as to be worth keeping in all future time. It will then have proved that among free men there can be no successful appeal from the ballot to the bullet, and that they who take such appeal are sure their cases and pay the costs.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I am a patient man--always willing to forgive on the Christian terms of repentance, and also to give ample time for repentance. Still, I must save this government, if possible. What I cannot do, of course I will not do, but it may as well be understood, once for all, that I shall not surrender this game leaving any available card unplayed.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
If any man tells you he loves America, yet hates labor, he is a liar. If any man tells you he trusts America, yet fears labor, he is a fool.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
It is safe to assert that no government proper ever had a provision in its organic law for its own termination.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
No State, upon it own mere motion, can lawfully get out of the Union. Resolves and ordinances to that effect are legally nothing. I therefore consider that the Union is unbroken. There needs to be no bloodshed or violence and there shall be none, unless forced upon the national authority.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I have simply tried to do what seemed best each day, as each day came.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I did say, at Chicago, in my speech there, that I do wish to see the spread of slavery arrested and to see it placed where the public mind shall rest in the belief that it is in course of ultimate extinction.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Am I not destroying my enemies when I make friends of them?
Abraham Lincoln
Image
When you have got a ticket to send, and you're not a top costumer, it's best not to waste your time.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
The probability that we may fail in the struggle ought not to deter us from the support of a cause we believe to be just.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
With firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live up to what light I have.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
The power of hope upon human exertion, and happiness, is wonderful.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Killing the dog does not cure the bite.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
There is no America without labor, and to fleece the one is to rob the other.
