The time has come when I am for everybody fighting the rebels. Let Indians fight them let the Negroes fight them and if you have got any strong-legged jackasses in Iwoa that can kick rebels to death, they have my hearty consent.

More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
Every head should be cultivated.
Abraham Lincoln
We have, as all will agree, a free Government, where every man has a right to be equal with every other man. In this great struggle, this form of Government and every form of human right is endangered if our enemies succeed.
Abraham Lincoln
Few can be induced to labor exclusively for posterity and none will do it enthusiastically. Posterity has done nothing for us and theorize on it as we may, practically we shall do very little for it, unless we are made to think we are at the same time doing something for ourselves.
Abraham Lincoln
You can have anything you want if you want it badly enough. You can be anything you want to be, do anything you set out to accomplish if you hold to that desire with singleness of purpose.
Abraham Lincoln
Will springs from the two elements of moral sense and self-interest.
Abraham Lincoln
Let the people know the truth and the country is safe.
Abraham Lincoln
Without Divine assistance I can not succeed with it I can not fail.
Abraham Lincoln
Tell the truth and you won't have so much to remember
Abraham Lincoln
I do the very best I know how - the very best I can and I mean to keep on doing so until the end.
Abraham Lincoln
The people when rightly and fully trusted will return the trust.
Abraham Lincoln
There may sometimes be ungenerous attempts to keep a young man down and they will succeed too, if he allows his mind to be diverted from its true channel to brood over the attempted injury. Cast about, and see if this feeling has not injured every person you have ever known to fall into it.
Abraham Lincoln
There are no accidents in my philosophy. Every effect must have its cause. The past is the cause of the present, and the present will be the cause of the future. All these are links in the endless chain stretching from the finite to the infinite.
Abraham Lincoln
I am rather inclined to silence, and whether that be wise or not, it is at least more unusual nowadays to find a man who can hold his tongue than to find one who cannot.
Abraham Lincoln
We shall meanly lose or nobly save the last hope of earth.
Abraham Lincoln
In the first place, I insist that our fathers did not make this nation half slave and half free, or part slave and part free. I insist that they found the institution of slavery existing here. They did not make it so, but they left it so because they knew of no way to get rid of it at that time.
Abraham Lincoln
We find ourselves under the government of a system of political institutions, conducing more essentially to the ends of civil and religious liberty, than any of which the history of former times tells us.
Abraham Lincoln
There is really no crisis except an artificial one...If the great American people will only keep their temper, on both sides of the line, the trouble will come to an end.
Abraham Lincoln
No one has needed favours more than I, and generally, few have been less unwilling to accept them but in this case, favour to me,would be injustice to the public, and therefore I must beg your pardon for declining it.
Abraham Lincoln
The person who is incapable of making a mistake, is incapable of anything.
Abraham Lincoln
Great distance in either time or space has wonderful power to lull and render quiescent the human mind.
Abraham Lincoln
