More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
My great concern is not whether you have failed, but whether you are content with your failure.
Abraham Lincoln
I do not think I could myself, be brought to support a man for office, whom I knew to be an open enemy of, and scoffer at, religion. Leaving the higher matter of eternal consequences, between him and his Maker, I still do not think any man has the right thus to insult the feelings, and injure the morals, of the community in which he may live.
Abraham Lincoln
I turn, then, and look to the American people and to that God who has never forsaken them.
Abraham Lincoln
Nothing new here, except my marrying, which to me is a matter of profound wonder.
Abraham Lincoln
I have not permitted myself, gentlemen, to conclude that I am the best man in the country but I am reminded, in this connection, of a story of an old Dutch farmer, who remarked to a companion once that it was not best to swap horses when crossing streams.
Abraham Lincoln
I have simply tried to do what seemed best each day, as each day came.
Abraham Lincoln
Let every man remember that to violate the law, is to trample on the blood of his father, and to tear the character of his own, and his children's liberty.
Abraham Lincoln
Again, a law may be both constitutional and expedient, and yet may be administered in an unjust and unfair way.
Abraham Lincoln
If I gave McClellan all the men he asked for, they could not find room to lie down they'd have to sleep standing up.
Abraham Lincoln
The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battle-field, and patriot grave, to every living heart and hearth-stone, all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature. --as quoted in THE RIVER OF WINGED DREAMS
Abraham Lincoln
Few can be induced to labor exclusively for posterity - Posterity has done nothing for us
Abraham Lincoln
If the negro is a man, why then my ancient faith teaches me that ‘all men are created equal,' and that there can be no moral right in connection with one man's making a slave of another.
Abraham Lincoln
I know the hole he went in at, but I can't tell you what hole he will come out of.
Abraham Lincoln
Whatever уоu are, bе а good one.
Abraham Lincoln
The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here so nobly advanced.
Abraham Lincoln
When Judge Douglas says that whoever, or whatever community, wants slaves, they have a right to have them, he is perfectly logical if there is nothing wrong in the institution but if you admit that it is wrong, he cannot logically say that anybody has a right to do wrong.
Abraham Lincoln
The Bible is not my book and Christianity is not my religion. I could never give assent to the long complicated statements of Christian dogma.
Abraham Lincoln
The negative principle that no law is free law, is not much known except among lawyers.
Abraham Lincoln
Nothing valuable can be lost by taking time.
Abraham Lincoln
President Lincoln was once criticized for his attitude toward his enemies. Why do you try to make friends of them? asked an associate. You should try to destroy them. Am I not destroying my enemies, Lincoln gently replied, when I make them my friends?
