More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
I turn, then, and look to the American people and to that God who has never forsaken them.
Abraham Lincoln
Some single mind must be master, else there will be no agreement in anything.
Abraham Lincoln
If you have never failed you have never lived.
Abraham Lincoln
I am not a very sentimental man and the best sentiment I can think of is, that if you collect the signatures of all persons who are no less distinguished than I, you will have a very undistinguishing mass of names.
Abraham Lincoln
I always [or often] walk slowly, but I never walk backwards.
Abraham Lincoln
The ballot is stronger than the bullet.
Abraham Lincoln
[Uniting workers should not] lead to a war upon property, or the owners of property.
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
I don't know who my grandfather was I am much more concerned to know what his grandson will be.
Abraham Lincoln
Again I admonish you not to be turned from your stern purpose of defending your beloved country and its free institutions by any arguments urged by ambitious and designing men, but stand fast to the Union and the old flag.
Abraham Lincoln
Singular indeed the people should be writhing under oppression and injury, and yet not one among them to be found, to raise the voice of complaint.
Abraham Lincoln
Now I confess myself as belonging to that class in the country who contemplate slavery as a moral, social and political evil.
Abraham Lincoln
Honor to the soldier and sailor everywhere, who bravely bears his country's cause. Honor, also, to the citizen who cares for his brother in the field and serves, as he best can, the same cause.
Abraham Lincoln
In regards to this great Book [the Bible], I have but to say it is the best gift God has given to man. All the good the Savior gave to the world was communicated through this Book. But for it we could not know right from wrong. All things most desirable for man's welfare, here and hereafter, are found portrayed in it.
Abraham Lincoln
Nothing will divert me from my purpose.
Abraham Lincoln
What is to be, will be, and no prayers of ours can arrest the decree.
Abraham Lincoln
Our republican system was meant for a homogeneous people. As long as blacks continue to live with the whites they constitute a threat to the national life. Family life may also collapse and the increase of mixed breed bastards may some day challenge the supremacy of the white man.
Abraham Lincoln
One section of our country believes slavery is right, and ought to be extended, while the other believes it is wrong, and ought not to be extended.
Abraham Lincoln
Friendship is the start for what you call love.
Abraham Lincoln
Submitted to the Sec. of War. On principle I dislike an oath which requires a man to swear he has not done wrong. It rejects the Christian principle of forgiveness on terms of repentance. I think it is enough if the man does no wrong hereafter.
Abraham Lincoln
