More quotes by Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
Faith is not believing that God can, but that God will.
Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
We shall meanly lose or nobly save the last hope of earth.
Abraham Lincoln
I am slow to listen to criminations among friends, and never espouse their quarrels on either side. My sincere wish is that both sides will allow bygones to be bygones, and look to the present & future only.
Abraham Lincoln
Woe unto the world because of offenses for it must needs be that offenses come, but woe to that man by whom the offense cometh.
Abraham Lincoln
A day spent helping no one but yourself is a day wasted.
Abraham Lincoln
Believing everybody is dangerous, but believing nobody is more dangerous.
Abraham Lincoln
We believe that the spreading out and perpetuity of the institution of slavery impairs the general welfare. We believe - nay, we know, that that is the only thing that has ever threatened the perpetuity of the Union itself.
Abraham Lincoln
