We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
No country can sustain, in idleness, more than a small percentage of its numbers. The great majority must labor at something productive.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
When I have a particular case in hand, I have that motive and feel an interest in the case, feel an interest in ferreting out the questions to the bottom, love to dig up the question by the roots and hold it up and dry it before the fires of the mind.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I am much indebted to the good Christian people of the country for their constant prayers and consolations and to no one of them, more than to yourself.

Abraham Lincoln
Image
All the armies of Europe combined could not by force make a track upon the Blue Ridge, or take a drink from the Ohio. If we are to be destroyed, we must do it ourselves.

If you wish to be a lawyer, attach no consequence to the place you are in, or the person you are with but get books, sit down anywhere, and go to reading for yourself. That will make a lawyer of you quicker than any other way.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
We have all heard of Young America. He is the most current youth of the age. Some think him conceited, and arrogant but has he not reason to entertain a rather extensive opinion of himself? Is he not the inventor and owner of the present, and sole hope of the future?
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Slavery is wrong. If Slavery is right, all words, acts, laws, and Constitutions against it, are themselves wrong, and should be silenced, and swept away.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I will do what I think is right and when I discover that it is wrong, I will change it.

You cannot fail unless you quit.
Abraham Lincoln

Let all Americans - let all lovers of liberty everywhere - join in the great and good work. If we do this, we shall not only have saved the Union but we shall have so saved it, as to make, and to keep it, forever worthy of the saving.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
If a man will stand up and assert, and repeat and re-assert, that two and two do not make four, I know nothing in the power of argument that can stop him.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Must a government be too strong for the liberties of its people or too weak to maintain its own existence?
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Moral principle is a looser bond than pecuniary interest.

As President, I have no eyes but constitutional eyes I cannot see you.
