Abraham Lincoln
Image
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
Image
I am a patient man--always willing to forgive on the Christian terms of repentance, and also to give ample time for repentance. Still, I must save this government, if possible. What I cannot do, of course I will not do, but it may as well be understood, once for all, that I shall not surrender this game leaving any available card unplayed.

There are no accidents in my philosophy. Every effect must have its cause. The past is the cause of the present, and the present will be the cause of the future. All these are links in the endless chain stretching from the finite to the infinite.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I do not boast that God is on my side, I humbly pray that I am on God's side.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
There is a vague popular belief that lawyers are necessarily dishonest.

Yet the impression is common, almost universal.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Commitment is what transforms a promise into reality.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
We should avoid planting and cultivating too many thorns in the bosom of society.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
The damnest scoundrel that ever lived, but in the infinite mercy of Providence... also the damnest fool.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Without Divine assistance I can not succeed with it I can not fail.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Surely God would not have created such a being as man, with an ability to grasp the infinite, to exist only for a day! No, no, man was made for immortality.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Human action can be modified to some extent, but human nature can not be changed
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I was losing interest in politics, when the repeal of the Missouri Compromise aroused me again. What I have done since then is pretty well known.
