More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
It is the quality of revolutions not to go by old lines or old laws but to break up both, and make new ones.
Abraham Lincoln
You may burn my body to ashes, and scatter them to the winds of heaven you may drag my soul down to the regions of darkness and despair to be tormented forever but you will never get me to support a measure which I believe to be wrong, although by doing so I may accomplish that which I believe to be right.
Abraham Lincoln
The written word may be man's greatest invention. It allows us to converse with the dead, the absent, and the unborn.
Abraham Lincoln
A statesman is he who thinks in the future generations, and a politician is he who thinks in the upcoming elections.
Abraham Lincoln
To secure to each laborer the whole product of his labor, or as nearly as possible, is a worthy object of any good government.
Abraham Lincoln
I see a very dark cloud on America's horizon, and that cloud is coming from Rome.
Abraham Lincoln
My great concern is not whether you have failed, but whether you are content with your failure.
Abraham Lincoln
The leading rule for the lawyer, as for the man of every other calling, is diligence. Leave nothing for to-morrow which can be done to-day. Never let your correspondence fall behind. Whatever piece of business you have in hand, before stopping, do all the labor pertaining to it which can then be done.
Abraham Lincoln
With malice towards none with charity for all.
Abraham Lincoln
There may sometimes be ungenerous attempts to keep a young man down and they will succeed too, if he allows his mind to be diverted from its true channel to brood over the attempted injury. Cast about, and see if this feeling has not injured every person you have ever known to fall into it.
Abraham Lincoln
We, on our side, are praying to Him to give us victory, because we believe we are right but those on the other side pray to Him, look for victory, believing they are right. What must He think of us?
Abraham Lincoln
The press has no better friend than I am, no one who is more ready to acknowledge . . . its tremendous power for both good and evil.
Abraham Lincoln
The matter of fees is important, far beyond the mere question of bread and butter involved. Properly attended to, fuller justice is done to both lawyer and client.
Abraham Lincoln
All creation is a mine, and every man a miner. The whole earth, and all within it, upon it, and round about it, including himself ... are the infinitely various leads from which, man, from the first, was to dig out his destiny.
Abraham Lincoln
I wish all men to be free. I wish the material prosperity of the already free which I feel sure the extinction of slavery would bring.
Abraham Lincoln
It's time for me to go. But I would rather stay.
Abraham Lincoln
One's only security in life comes from doing something uncommonly well.
Abraham Lincoln
My friends I now leave, not knowing when, or whether ever, I may return, with a task before me greater than that which rested upon Washington. Without the assistance of that Divine Being, who ever attended him, I cannot succeed. With that assistance, I cannot fail.
Abraham Lincoln
I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live up to the light I have. I must stand with anybody that stands right - stand with him while he is right and part with him when he goes wrong.
Abraham Lincoln
I am not concerned that you have fallen -- I am concerned that you arise.
Abraham Lincoln
