Don't judge a man by the size of his ego or his heart, but on the epicness of his beard and the beautiful woman on his arm
Abraham Lincoln
Image
The money power preys on the nation in times of peace, and conspires against it in times of adversity. It is more despotic than monarchy, more insolent than autocracy, more selfish than bureaucracy. It denounces, as public enemies, all who question its methods or throw light upon its crimes.
Abraham Lincoln

If I could save the Union without freeing any slave, I would do it.
Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
Image
Our political problem now is, Can we as a nation continue together permanently - forever - half slave and half free?
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Many free countries have lost their liberty, and ours may lose hers but, if she shall, be it my proudest plume, not that I was the last to desert, but that I never deserted her.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
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

Let us renew our trust in god, and go forward without fear.

Some single mind must be master, else there will be no agreement in anything.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Let reverence for the laws, be breathed by every American mother, to the lisping babe, that prattles on her lap - let it be taught in schools, in seminaries, and in colleges let it be written in Primmers, spelling books, and in Almanacs let it be preached from the pulpit, proclaimed in legislative halls, and enforced in courts of justice.

And you are entirely free from head-ache? That is good -- good -- considering it is the first spring you have been free from it since we were acquainted. I am afraid you will get so well, and fat, and young, as to be wanting to marry again.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Nothing new here, except my marrying, which to me is a matter of profound wonder.
