The Union is much older than the Constitution. It was formed in fact, by the Articles of Association in 1774. It was matured and continued by the Declaration of Independence in 1776.

More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
You have confidence in yourself, which is valuable, if not an indispensable quality.
Abraham Lincoln
If ever I feel the soul within me elevate and expand to those dimensions, not wholly unworthy of its almighty Architect, it is when I contemplate the cause of my country, deserted by all the world beside, and I standing up boldly, alone, hurling defiance at her victorious oppressors.
Abraham Lincoln
I was elected a Captain of Volunteers--a success which gave me more pleasure than any I have had since.
Abraham Lincoln
He who sees cruelty and does nothing about it is himself cruel.
Abraham Lincoln
Democracy is government of, by and for the people.
Abraham Lincoln
Such will be a great lesson of peace: teaching men that what they cannot take by an election, neither can they take it by war.
Abraham Lincoln
I have a congenital aversion to failure.
Abraham Lincoln
I have always hated slavery, I think as much as any Abolitionist.
Abraham Lincoln
While I am deeply sensible to the high compliment of a re-election and duly grateful, as I trust, to Almighty God for having directed my countrymen to a right conclusion, as I think, for their own good, it adds nothing to my satisfaction that any other man may be disappointed or pained by the result.
Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
What kills a skunk is the publicity it gives itself.
Abraham Lincoln
What is conservatism? Is it not the adherence to the old and tried against the new and untried?
Abraham Lincoln
I hear you have abolitionists here. We have a few in Illinois, but we shot one the other day.
Abraham Lincoln
I never did ask more, nor ever was willing to accept less, than for all the States, and the people thereof, to take and hold their places, and their rights, in the Union, under the Constitution of the United States. For this alone have I felt authorized to struggle and I seek neither more nor less now.
Abraham Lincoln
There's no honorable way to kill, no gentle way to destroy. There is nothing good in war. Except its ending.
Abraham Lincoln
Some day I shall be President.
Abraham Lincoln
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.
Abraham Lincoln
Most folks are as happy as they make up their minds to be.
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
The health you enjoy is largely your choice
