More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
I hold that if the Almighty had ever made a set of men that should do all the eating and none of the work, he would have made them with mouths only and no hands, and if he had ever made another class that he intended should do all the work and none of the eating, he would have made them without mouths and with all hands.
Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
There is really no crisis except an artificial one...If the great American people will only keep their temper, on both sides of the line, the trouble will come to an end.
Abraham Lincoln
I destroy my enemy if I make him my friend.
Abraham Lincoln
Towering genius...thirsts and burns for distinction and, if possible, it will have it, whether at the expense of emancipating slaves or enslaving freeman.
Abraham Lincoln
There is nothing true anywhere, The true is nowhere to be seen If you say you see the true, This seeing is not the true one.
Abraham Lincoln
Women are the only people I am afraid of who I never thought would hurt me
Abraham Lincoln
He who molds the public sentiment... makes statutes and decisions possible or impossible to make.
Abraham Lincoln
I was raised to farm work.
Abraham Lincoln
