Abraham Lincoln

I am always for the man who wishes to work.

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

I am absent altogether too much to be a suitable instructor for a law-student. When a man has reached the age that Mr. Widner has,and has already been doing for himself, my judgment is, that he reads the books for himself without an instructor. That is precisely the way I came to the law.

Repeal the Missouri Compromise - repeal all compromises - repeal the Declaration of Independence - repeal all past history, you still can not repeal human nature.

Abraham Lincoln
Image
You say you will not fight to free negroes. Some of them seem willing to fight for you but, no matter. Fight you, then exclusively to save the Union.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Nobody has ever expected me to be President. In my poor, lean, lank face, nobody has ever seen that any cabbages were sprouting out.
Abraham Lincoln

Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration
Abraham Lincoln

The loss of enemies does not compensate for the loss of friends.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
The sense of obligation to continue is present in all of us. A duty to strive is the duty of us all. I felt a call to that duty.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
If by the mere force of numbers a majority should deprive a minority of any clearly written constitutional right, it might, in a moral point of view, justify revolution.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I would rather be assassinated than see a single star removed from the American flag.

Law is nothing else but the best reason of wise men applied for ages to the transactions and business of mankind.
