More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
We should be too big to take offense and too noble to give it.
Abraham Lincoln
With educated people, I suppose, punctuation is a matter of rule with me it is a matter of feeling. But I must say I have a great respect for the semicolin it's a useful little chap
Abraham Lincoln
Knavery and flattery are blood relations.
Abraham Lincoln
But fight we must and conquer we shall in the end.
Abraham Lincoln
God bless the soldiers and seamen, with all their brave commanders.
Abraham Lincoln
Familiarize yourselves with the chains of bondage and you prepare your own limbs to wear them. Accustomed to trample on the rights of others, you have lost the genius of your own independence and become the fit subjects of the first cunning tyrant who rises among you.
Abraham Lincoln
Persuasion, kind, unassuming persuasion, should be adopted to influence the conduct of men. The opposite course would be a reversal of human nature, which is God's decree and can never be reversed.
Abraham Lincoln
If we cannot give freedom to every creature, let us do nothing that will impose slavery upon any other creature.
Abraham Lincoln
Sir, my concern is not whether God is on our side my greatest concern is to be on God's side, for God is always right.
Abraham Lincoln
Teach the children so it will not be necessary to teach the adults.
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
You know I dislike slavery and you fully admit the abstract wrong of it.
Abraham Lincoln
The human mind is impelled to action, or held in rest by some power, over which the mind itself has no control.
Abraham Lincoln
While I am deeply sensible to the high compliment of a re-election and duly grateful, as I trust, to Almighty God for having directed my countrymen to a right conclusion, as I think, for their own good, it adds nothing to my satisfaction that any other man may be disappointed or pained by the result.
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
The Bible says somewhere that we are desperately selfish. I think we would have discovered that fact without the Bible.
Abraham Lincoln
The negative principle that no law is free law, is not much known except among lawyers.
Abraham Lincoln
I have come to the conclusion never again to think of marrying, and for this reason, I can never be satisfied with anyone who would be blockhead enough to have me.
Abraham Lincoln
The man does not live who is more devoted to peace than I am. None who would do more to preserve it.
Abraham Lincoln
If any man tells you he loves America, yet hates labor, he is a liar. If any man tells you he trusts America, yet fears labor, he is a fool.
Abraham Lincoln
