More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
I know not how to aid you, save in the assurance of one of mature age, and much severe experience, that you can not fail, if you resolutely determine, that you will not.
Abraham Lincoln
If frienship is your weakest point then you are the strongest person in the world.
Abraham Lincoln
I am in favor of animal rights as well as human rights. That is the way of a whole human being.
Abraham Lincoln
In great contests each party claims to act in accordance with the will of God. Both may be, and one must be wrong.
Abraham Lincoln
Nations do not die from invasion they die from internal rottenness.
Abraham Lincoln
You can always lie to others and hide your actions from them... but you can not fool yourself
Abraham Lincoln
We cannot ask a man what he will do, and if we should, and he should answer us, we should despise him for it. Therefore we must take a man whose opinions are known.
Abraham Lincoln
The trouble with too many people is they believe the realm of truth always lies within their vision.
Abraham Lincoln
Every blade of grass is a study and to produce two, where there was but one, is both a profit and a pleasure.
Abraham Lincoln
If all men were just, there still would be some, though not so much, need of government.
Abraham Lincoln
The principles of Jefferson are the definitions and axioms of free society.
Abraham Lincoln
That our government should have been maintained in its original form from its establishment until now, is not much to be wondered at. It had many props to support it through that period, which now are decayed, and crumbled away. Through that period, it was felt by all, to be an undecided experiment now, it is understood to be a successful one.
Abraham Lincoln
What constitutes the bulwark of our own liberty and independence?
Abraham Lincoln
There's no honorable way to kill, no gentle way to destroy. There is nothing good in war. Except its ending.
Abraham Lincoln
So viewing the issue, no choice was left but to call out the war power of the Government and so to resist force, employed for its destruction, by force, for its preservation.
Abraham Lincoln
Honor to the soldier and sailor everywhere, who bravely bears his country's cause. Honor, also, to the citizen who cares for his brother in the field and serves, as he best can, the same cause.
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
The best way to get rid of your enemies is to make them your friends.
Abraham Lincoln
The Bible says somewhere that we are desperately selfish. I think we would have discovered that fact without the Bible.
Abraham Lincoln
The fiery trials through which we pass will light us down in honor or dishonor to the latest generation.
Abraham Lincoln
