More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
I desire to see the time when education, and by its means, morality, sobriety, enterprise and industry shall become much more general than at present.
Abraham Lincoln
We will make converts day by day we will grow strong by the violence and injustice of our adversaries. And, unless truth be a mockery and justice a hollow lie, we will be in the majority after a while.
Abraham Lincoln
What are you gonna do for a face when the baboon wants his ass back?
Abraham Lincoln
I am not a very sentimental man and the best sentiment I can think of is, that if you collect the signatures of all persons who are no less distinguished than I, you will have a very undistinguishing mass of names.
Abraham Lincoln
The privilege of creating and issuing money is not only the supreme prerogative of government, but it is the government's greatest creative opportunity.
Abraham Lincoln
I am for the people of the whole nation doing just as they please in all matters which concern the whole nation for that of each part doing just as they choose in all matters which concern no other part and for each individual doing just as he chooses in all matters which concern nobody else.
Abraham Lincoln
If 600,000 people have to die in order for the nation to live, then 600,000 people will die.
Abraham Lincoln
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.
Abraham Lincoln
The foregoing history may not be precisely accurate in every particular but I am sure it is sufficiently so, for all the uses I shall attempt to make of it, and in it, we have before us, the chief material enabling us to correctly judge whether the repeal of the Missouri Compromise is right or wrong.
Abraham Lincoln
I hold that while a man exists, it is his duty to improve not only his own condition, but to assist in ameliorating mankind.
Abraham Lincoln
I do not deny the possibility that the people may err in an election but if they do, the true [cure] is in the next election, and not in the treachery of the person elected.
Abraham Lincoln
The world has never had a good definition of the word liberty, and the American people, just now, are much in want of one. We all declare for liberty but in using the same word we do not all mean the same thing.
Abraham Lincoln
How many legs does a dog have if you call the tail a leg? Four. Calling a tail a leg doesn't make it a leg.
Abraham Lincoln
All true wisdom is found on T-shirts.
Abraham Lincoln
I remember my mother's prayers and they have always followed me. They have clung to me all my life.
Abraham Lincoln
Again I admonish you not to be turned from your stern purpose of defending your beloved country and its free institutions by any arguments urged by ambitious and designing men, but stand fast to the Union and the old flag.
Abraham Lincoln
I will prepare and some day my chance will come.
Abraham Lincoln
I am busily engaged in study of the Bible.
Abraham Lincoln
A husband and wife may be divorced and go out of the presence and beyond the reach of each other, but the different parts of our country can not do this. They can but remain face to face, and intercourse, either amicable or hostile, must continue between them.
Abraham Lincoln
Twenty-two years ago Judge [then-Senator Stephen] Douglas and I first became acquainted. We were both young then he a trifle younger than I. Even then, we were both ambitious I, perhaps, quite as much so as he. With me, the race of ambition has been a failure--a flat failure with him it has been one of splendid success.
Abraham Lincoln
