Image
I believe that every individual is naturally entitled to do as he pleases with himself and the fruits of his labor, so far as it in no way interferes with any other men's rights.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
All creation is a mine, and every man a miner. The whole earth, and all within it, upon it, and round about it, including himself ... are the infinitely various leads from which, man, from the first, was to dig out his destiny.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
We find ourselves under the government of a system of political institutions, conducing more essentially to the ends of civil and religious liberty, than any of which the history of former times tells us.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I believe the declaration that ‘all men are created equal’ is the great fundamental principle upon which our free institutions rest.

Let us do nothing through passion and ill temper.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Oh, that [his Thanksgiving Message] is some of Seward's nonsense, and it pleases the fools.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
A man watches his pear-tree day after day, impatient for the ripening of the fruit. Let him attempt to force the process, and he may spoil both fruit and tree. But let him patiently wait, and the ripe pear at length falls into his lap.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
There is no greater injustice than to wring your profits from the sweat of another man's brow.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Tis better people think you a fool, then open your mouth and erase all doubt.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Whenever I hear anyone arguing for slavery, I feel a strong impulse to see it tried on him personally.
