More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
Neither let us be slandered from our duty by false accusations against us, nor frightened from it by menaces of destruction ... nor of dungeons to ourselves. Let us have faith that right makes might, and in that faith, let us, to the end, dare to do our duty as we understand it.
Abraham Lincoln
If I am killed, I can die by once but to live in constant dread of it, is to die over and over again.
Abraham Lincoln
He who represents himself has a fool for a client
Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
I confess I hate to see the poor creatures hunted down but I bite my lip and keep quiet.
Abraham Lincoln
In the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years.
Abraham Lincoln
That our government should have been maintained in its original form from its establishment until now, is not much to be wondered at. It had many props to support it through that period, which now are decayed, and crumbled away. Through that period, it was felt by all, to be an undecided experiment now, it is understood to be a successful one.
Abraham Lincoln
IF you are going to fight, don't let them talk you into negotiating. But, if you are going to negotiate, don't let them talk you into fighting.
Abraham Lincoln
I hold the value of life is to improve one's condition. Whatever is calculated to advance the condition of the honest, struggling laboring man, so far as my judgment will enable me to judge of a correct thing, I am for that thing.
Abraham Lincoln
I believe the Bible is the best gift God has ever given to man.
Abraham Lincoln
Labor is superior to capital and precedes capital. Without labor, there is no capital.
Abraham Lincoln
You can please some of the people some of the time, all of the people some of the time, some of the people all of the time, but you can never please all of the people all of the time.
Abraham Lincoln
