More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
Glory to God in the highest, Ohio has saved the Nation.
Abraham Lincoln
We must remember that the people of all the States are entitled to all the privileges and immunities of the citizen of the several States. We should bear this in mind, and act in such a way as to say nothing insulting or irritating. I would inculcate this idea, so that we may not, like Pharisees, set ourselves up to be better than other people.
Abraham Lincoln
We hope all danger may be overcome but to conclude that no danger may ever arise would itself be extremely dangerous.
Abraham Lincoln
The Autocrat of all the Russias will resign his crown, and proclaim his subjects free republicans sooner than will our American masters voluntarily give up their slaves.
Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
I failed, I failed, and that is about all that can be said about it.
Abraham Lincoln
The things I want to know are in books my best friend is the man who'll get me a book I ain't read.
Abraham Lincoln
Did Stanton say I was a damned fool? Then I dare say I must be one, for Stanton is generally right and he always says what he means.
Abraham Lincoln
One company can serve some of your needs all of the time, or all of your needs some of the time, but never both.
Abraham Lincoln
There' s nothing good in war. Except its ending.
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
When I go hear a man speak, I like to hear him speak like he's fighting a swarm of bees.
Abraham Lincoln
You have to do your own growing no matter how tall your grandfather was.
Abraham Lincoln
A majority held in restraint by constitutional checks and limitations...is the only true sovereign of a free people. Whoever rejects it does of necessity fly to anarchy or to despotism.
Abraham Lincoln
It is for us and our time...to say the right makes might.
Abraham Lincoln
If we believe the Bible, we must accept the fact that, in the old days, God and his angels came to humans in their sleep and made themselves known in dreams.
Abraham Lincoln
