More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
Everybody likes a compliment.
Abraham Lincoln
This is a world of compensations and he who would be no slave, must consent to have no slave.
Abraham Lincoln
I would rather be assassinated than see a single star removed from the American flag.
Abraham Lincoln
And whereas this House desires to obtain a full knowledge of all the facts which go to establish whether the particular spot of soil which the blood of our citizens was so shed was, or was not, our own soil.
Abraham Lincoln
In all that people can do for themselves, government ought not to interfere.
Abraham Lincoln
The legalized liquor business is the tragedy of our civilization. Alcohol is the greatest and most blighting curse of our modern civilization. The liquor seller is simply and only a privileged malefactor - a criminal.
Abraham Lincoln
A good, real, unrestrained, hearty laugh is a sort of glorified internal massage, performed rapidly and automatically. It manipulates and revitalizes corners and unexplored crannies of the system that are unresponsive to most other exercise methods. With the fearful strain that is on me night and day, if I did not laugh I should die.
Abraham Lincoln
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
It is not 'Is God on my side', but 'Am I on God's side'.
Abraham Lincoln
I am greatly obliged to you, and to all who have come forward at the call of their country.
Abraham Lincoln
As a general rule never take your whole fee in advance, nor any more than a small retainer. When fully paid beforehand, you are more than a common mortal if you can feel the same interest in the case, as if something was still in prospect for you, as well as for your client.
Abraham Lincoln
The ballot is stronger than the bullet.
Abraham Lincoln
The Presidency, even to the most experienced politicians, is no bed of roses and [Zachary] Taylor like others, found thorns within it. No human being can fill that station and escape censure.
Abraham Lincoln
You cannot have the right to do what is wrong!
Abraham Lincoln
Kindness is the only service that will stand the storm of life and not wash out.
Abraham Lincoln
Among free men there can be no successful appeal from the ballot to the bullet.
Abraham Lincoln
Money powers prey upon the nation in times of peace & conspire against it in times of adversity.
Abraham Lincoln
If there is no military need for the building, leave it alone, neither putting anyone in or out of it, except on finding some one preaching or practicing treason, in which case lay hands on him, just as if he were doing the same thing in any other building.
Abraham Lincoln
Every man is said to have his peculiar ambition.
Abraham Lincoln
I have always wanted to deal with everyone I meet candidly and honestly. If I have made any assertion not warranted by facts, and it is pointed out to me, I will withdraw it cheerfully.
Abraham Lincoln
