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.
Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
We want, and must have, a national policy, as to slavery, which deals with it as being wrong.
Abraham Lincoln
Every man has a right to be equal with every other man.
Abraham Lincoln
The love of property and consciousness of right and wrong have conflicting places in our organization, which often makes a man's course seem crooked, his conduct a riddle.
Abraham Lincoln
Public opinion in this country is everything.
Abraham Lincoln
Lamon, that speech won't scour. It is a flat failure and the people are disappointed.
Abraham Lincoln
My father, at the death of his father, was but six years of age and he grew up, literally without education.
Abraham Lincoln
Whenever I hear anyone arguing for slavery, I feel a strong impulse to see it tried on him personally.
Abraham Lincoln
Surely God would not have created such a being as man, with an ability to grasp the infinite, to exist only for a day! No, no, man was made for immortality.
Abraham Lincoln
If you wish to win a man over to your ideas, first make him your friend.
Abraham Lincoln
