Abraham Lincoln
It has been my experience that folks who have no vices have very few virtues.
Abraham Lincoln
Let the people know the truth and the country is safe.
Abraham Lincoln
Discourage litigation. Persuade your neighbors to compromise whenever you can. As a peacemaker the lawyer has superior opportunity of being a good man. There will still be business enough.
Abraham Lincoln
The leading rule for the lawyer, as for the man of every other calling, is diligence. Leave nothing for to-morrow which can be done to-day.
Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
The Almighty has His own purposes.
Abraham Lincoln
It is for us and our time...to say the right makes might.
Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
I have just read your dispatch about sore-tongued and fatigued horses, Will you pardon me for asking what the horses of your army have done since the Battle of Antietam that fatigues anything?
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
You are green, it is true but they are green also. You are all green alike.
Abraham Lincoln
Both parties deprecated war but one of them would make war rather than let the nation survive and the other would accept war rather than let it perish. And the war came.
Abraham Lincoln
I believe the Bible is the best gift God has ever given to man.
Abraham Lincoln
Now, and ever, I shall do all in my power for peace, consistently with the maintenance of government.
Abraham Lincoln
You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot establish sound security on borrowed money. You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than you earn.
Abraham Lincoln
