More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
Do not destroy that immortal emblem of humanity, the Declaration of Independence.
Abraham Lincoln
Senator Douglas holds, we know, that a man may rightfully be wiser today than he was yesterday - that he may rightfully change when he finds himself wrong. But can we, for that reason, run ahead, and infer that he will make any particular change, of which he, himself, has given no intimation?
Abraham Lincoln
Why should there not be a patient confidence in the ultimate justice of the people? Is there any better or equal hope in the world?
Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
I always [or often] walk slowly, but I never walk backwards.
Abraham Lincoln
Let every American, every lover of liberty, every well wisher to his posterity, swear by the blood of the Revolution, never to violate in the least particular, the laws of the country and never to tolerate their violation by others.
Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
The man who stands by and says nothing, when the peril of his government is discussed, can not be misunderstood. If not hindered, he is sure to help the enemy.
Abraham Lincoln
I walk slowly, but never backwards.
Abraham Lincoln
Character is like a tree, and reputation is like its shadow.
Abraham Lincoln
Well, I wish some of you would tell me the brand of whiskey that Grant drinks. I would like to send a barrel of it to my other generals.
Abraham Lincoln
The US patent system adds the fuel of interest to the fire of genius in the discovery and production of new and useful things
Abraham Lincoln
I have seen your despatch expressing your unwillingness to break your hold where you are. Neither am I willing. Hold on with a bull-dog gripe, and chew & choke, as much as possible.
Abraham Lincoln
