Abraham Lincoln
And then, there will be some black men who can remember that, with silent tongue, and clenched teeth, and steady eye, and well-poised bayonnet, they have helped mankind on to this great consummation.
Abraham Lincoln
I hate it because of the monstrous injustice of slavery itself. I hate it because it deprives our republican example of its just influence in the world.

Abraham Lincoln
How many times have I laughed at you telling me plainly that I was too lazy to be anything but a lawyer.
Abraham Lincoln
I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true.

Abraham Lincoln
Man is not the only animal who labors but he is the only one who improves his workmanship.
Abraham Lincoln
Character is like a tree and reputation like a shadow. The shadow is what we think of it the tree is the real thing.
Abraham Lincoln
If both factions, or neither, shall abuse you, you will probably be about right. Beware of being assailed by one and praised by the other.
Abraham Lincoln
Again, a law may be both constitutional and expedient, and yet may be administered in an unjust and unfair way.
Abraham Lincoln
If I could save the Union without freeing any slave, I would do it.
Abraham Lincoln
In the present civil war it is quite possible that God's purpose is something different from the purpose of either party.
Abraham Lincoln
The one victory we can ever call complete will be that one which proclaims that there is not one slave or one drunkard on the face of God's green earth.
Abraham Lincoln
It is not the qualified voters, but the qualified voters who choose to vote, that constitute political power.
Abraham Lincoln
But let the past as nothing be. For the future my view is that the fight must go on.
Abraham Lincoln
The land-grant university system is being built on behalf of the people, who have invested in these public universities their hopes, their support, and their confidence.
