Let us hopethat by the best cultivation of the physical world, beneath and around us and the intellectual and moral world within us, we shall secure an individual, social and political prosperity and happiness, whose course shall be onward and upward, and which, while the earth endures, shall not pass away.
Abraham Lincoln
Don’t criticize them they are just what we would be under similar circumstances.
Abraham Lincoln
And I am glad to know that there is a system of labor - where the laborer can strike if he wants to! I would to God that such a system prevailed all over the world.
Abraham Lincoln
Among free men there can be no successful appeal from the ballot to the bullet.
Abraham Lincoln
Received as I am by the members of a legislature the majority of whom do not agree with me in political sentiments, I trust that I may have their assistance in piloting the ship of state through this voyage, surrounded by perils as it is for if it should suffer wreck now, there will be no pilot ever needed for another voyage.
Abraham Lincoln
At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide.
Abraham Lincoln
One is a majority if he is right.
Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
I could not sleep when I got on such a hunt for an idea until I had caught it ...This was a kind of passion with me, and it has stuck by me for I am never easy now, when I am handling a thought, till I have bounded it north, and bounded it south, and bounded it east, and bounded it west.
Abraham Lincoln
But let the past as nothing be. For the future my view is that the fight must go on.
Abraham Lincoln
Such a man the times have demanded, and such, in the providence of God was given us. But he is gone. Let us strive to deserve, as far as mortals may, the continued care of Divine Providence, trusting that, in future national emergencies, He will not fail to provide us the instruments of safety and security.
Abraham Lincoln
I have no wealthy or popular relations to recommend me.
Abraham Lincoln
What I want is to get done what the people desire to have done, and the question for me is how to find that out exactly.
Abraham Lincoln
Friendship is the start for what you call love.
Abraham Lincoln
You can not fail in any laudable object, unless you allow your mind to be improperly directed.
Abraham Lincoln
I walk slowly, but never backwards.
Abraham Lincoln
Much is being said about peace and no man desires peace more ardently than I. Still I am yet unprepared to give up the Union fora peace which, so achieved, could not be of much duration.
Abraham Lincoln
When I got him out he was near froze solid and shivering. He was shaking so hard that I wasted half a glass of whiskey trying to aim it for his mouth. Must have got enough of it into him, though, since it did seem to bring him back to life.
Abraham Lincoln
