If all men were just, there still would be some, though not so much, need of government.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
As long as the Almighty permitted intelligent men, created in his image and likeness, to fight in public and kill each other while the world looks on approvingly, it's not for me to deprive the chickens of the same privilege.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
By all means, don't say, if I can, say I will.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Let not him who is houseless pull down the house of another, but let him work diligently and build one for himself, thus by example assuring that his own shall be safe from violence when built.
Abraham Lincoln

Your rights end where my nose begins.
Abraham Lincoln
Image

Public opinion in this country is everything.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
It's bad. It's damned bad.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I am not in favor of making voters or jurors of Negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
We can not have free government without elections and if the rebellion could force us to forego, or postpone a national election it might fairly claim to have already conquered and ruined us.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
One generation passeth away and another generation cometh, but the earth abideth forever.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
All my life I have tried to pluck a thistle and plant a flower wherever the flower would grow in thought and mind.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Let us do nothing through passion and ill temper.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I had been told I was on the road to hell, but I had no idea it was just a mile down the road with a dome on it.
