More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
I am for . . . each individual doing just as he chooses in all matters which concern nobody else.
Abraham Lincoln
The greatest fine art of the future will be the making of a comfortable living from a small piece of land.
Abraham Lincoln
You cannot help small men by tearing down big men.
Abraham Lincoln
It's not me who can't keep a secret. It's the people I tell that can't.
Abraham Lincoln
If slavery is not wrong, nothing is wrong.
Abraham Lincoln
Let us diligently apply the means, never doubting that a just God, in his own good time, will give us the rightful result.
Abraham Lincoln
As a general rule, I abstain from reading reports of attacks upon myself, wishing not to be provoked by that to which I cannot properly offer an answer.
Abraham Lincoln
I can hardly believe that the South and North can live in peace, unless we can get rid of the negroes ... I believe that it would be better to export them all to some fertile country with a good climate, which they could have to themselves.
Abraham Lincoln
Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power.
Abraham Lincoln
America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.
Abraham Lincoln
This is essentially a people's contest... whose leading object is to elevate the condition of men - to lift artificial weights from all shoulders - to clear the paths of laudable pursuit for all - to afford all, an unfettered start and a fair chance, in the race of life.
Abraham Lincoln
I go for all sharing the privileges of the government who assist in bearing its burdens.
Abraham Lincoln
Why don't you laugh? If I did not laugh I should die, and you need this medicine as much as I do.
Abraham Lincoln
It is a pleasure to be able to quote lines to fit any occasion.
Abraham Lincoln
There is no America without labor, and to fleece the one is to rob the other.
Abraham Lincoln
So plain that no one, high or low, ever does mistake it, except in a plainly selfish way for although volume upon volume is written to prove slavery a very good thing, we never hear of the man who wishes to take the good of it, by being a slave himself.
Abraham Lincoln
I shall be most happy indeed if I shall be an humble instrument in the hands of the Almighty, and of this his almost chosen people.
Abraham Lincoln
We think slavery a great moral wrong, and while we do not claim the right to touch it where it exists, we wish to treat it as a wrong in the territories, where our votes will reach it.
Abraham Lincoln
Money will cease to be master and become the servant of humanity. Democracy will rise superior to the money power.
Abraham Lincoln
In giving freedom to the slave, we assure freedom to the free - honorable alike in what we give and what we preserve. We shall nobly save, or meanly lose, the last best hope of earth.
Abraham Lincoln
