You are young, and I am older You are hopeful, I am not- Enjoy life, ere it grow colder- Pluck the roses ere they rot.
Abraham Lincoln
The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present.
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

Abraham Lincoln
If there is anything which it is the duty of the whole people to never entrust to any hands but their own, that thing is the preservation and perpetuity of their own liberties and institutions.
Abraham Lincoln
You can not fail in any laudable object, unless you allow your mind to be improperly directed.
Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
There is more involved in this contest than is realized by every one. There is involved in this struggle the question whether your children and my children shall enjoy the privileges we have enjoyed.
Abraham Lincoln
A house divided against itself cannot stand. I believe this government cannot endure, permanently half slave and half free. I do not expect the Union to be dissolved — I do not expect the house to fall — but I do expect it will cease to be divided. It will become all one thing or all the other.
Abraham Lincoln
Talk to the jury as though your client's fate depends on every word you utter.
Abraham Lincoln
You are ambitious, which, within reasonable bounds, does good rather than harm.
Abraham Lincoln
