Abraham Lincoln

All things desirable to men are contained in the Bible.
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?
Abraham Lincoln
My old father used to have a saying: If you make a bad bargain, hug it all the tighter.
Abraham Lincoln
Must a government be too strong for the liberties of its people or too weak to maintain its own existence?
Abraham Lincoln
I believe that every individual is naturally entitled to do as he pleases with himself and the fruits of his labor, so far as it in no way interferes with any other men's rights.
Abraham Lincoln
