Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
We better know there is a fire whence we see much smoke rising than we could know it by one or two witnesses swearing to it. The witnesses may commit perjury, but the smoke cannot.
Abraham Lincoln
If we exchange one dollar, we both have one dollar each. But if we exchange one good thought, we both have two good thoughts
Abraham Lincoln
I can make more generals, but horses cost money.
Abraham Lincoln
Allow me to assure you, that suspicion and jealousy never did help any man in any situation.
