Our republican system was meant for a homogeneous people. As long as blacks continue to live with the whites they constitute a threat to the national life. Family life may also collapse and the increase of mixed breed bastards may some day challenge the supremacy of the white man.

In those days, our Declaration of Independence was held sacred by all, and thought to include all but now, to aid in the making the bondage of the negro universal and eternal, it is assailed, and sneered at, and construed, and hawked at, and torn, till, if its framers could rise from their graves, they could not at all recognize it.

If you once forfeit the confidence of your fellow citizens, you can never regain their respect and esteem. It is true that you may fool all of the people some of the time you can even fool some of the people all of the time but you can't fool all of the people all of the time. -Speech at Clinton, Illinois, September 8, 1854.
Abraham Lincoln

Weakness is what keeps driving us to God, by the overwhelming conviction that there just isn't anywhere else to go.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
We hoped for a happy termination of this terrible war long before this but God knows best, and has ruled otherwise. We shall yet acknowledge His wisdom and our own error therein.
Abraham Lincoln

When Judge Douglas says that whoever, or whatever community, wants slaves, they have a right to have them, he is perfectly logical if there is nothing wrong in the institution but if you admit that it is wrong, he cannot logically say that anybody has a right to do wrong.
Abraham Lincoln

Towering genius disdains a beaten path ... It scorns to tread in the footsteps of any predecessor, however illustrious. It thirsts for distinction.

Labor is the great source from which nearly all, if not all, human comforts and necessities are drawn.

The strength of a nation lies in the homes of its people.

The time comes upon every public man when it is best for him to keep his lips closed.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I don't believe in a law to prevent a man from getting rich it would do more harm than good. So while we do not propose any war upon capital, we do wish to allow the humblest man an equal chance to get rich with everybody else.
Abraham Lincoln

I like to see a man proud of the place in which he lives. I like to see a man live so that his place will be proud of him.

My father, at the death of his father, was but six years of age and he grew up, literally without education.

In this troublesome world, we are never quite satisfied. When you were here, I thought you hindered me some in attending to business but now, having nothing but business---no variety---it has grown exceedingly tasteless to me. I hate to sit down and direct documents, and I hate to stay in this old room by myself.
