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
Honor is better than honors.
Abraham Lincoln
Weakness is what keeps driving us to God, by the overwhelming conviction that there just isn't anywhere else to go.
Abraham Lincoln
The power confided in me will be used to hold, occupy and possess the property and places belonging to the government, and to collect the duties and imposts.
Abraham Lincoln
I like to see a man proud of the place in which he lives. I like to see a man live so that his place will be proud of him.
Abraham Lincoln
I have got you together to hear what I have written down. I do not wish your advice about the main matterfor that I have determined for myself.
Abraham Lincoln
I fear you do not fully comprehend the danger of abridging the liberties of the people. Nothing but the sternest necessity can ever justify it. A government had better go to the extreme of toleration, than to do aught that could be construed into an interference with, or to jeopardize in any degree, the common rights of its citizens.
Abraham Lincoln
Lonely men seek companionship. Lonely women sit at home and wait. They never meet.
Abraham Lincoln
There is another old poet whose name I do not now remember who said, 'Truth is the daughter of Time.'
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
When I get ready to talk to people, I spend two thirds of the time thinking what they want to hear and one third thinking about what I want to say.
Abraham Lincoln
Faith is not believing that God can, but that God will.
Abraham Lincoln
In this troublesome world, we are never quite satisfied. When you were here, I thought you hindered me some in attending to business but now, having nothing but business---no variety---it has grown exceedingly tasteless to me. I hate to sit down and direct documents, and I hate to stay in this old room by myself.
Abraham Lincoln
The way for a young man to rise is to improve himself in every way he can, never suspecting that anybody wishes to hinder him.
Abraham Lincoln
One's only security in life comes from doing something uncommonly well.
Abraham Lincoln
Gen. Schurz thinks I was a little cross in my late note to you. If I was, I ask pardon. If I do get up a little temper I have no sufficient time to keep it up.
Abraham Lincoln
Friends, I agree with you in Providence but I believe in the Providence of the most men, the largest purse, and the longest cannon.
Abraham Lincoln
It's not me who can't keep a secret. It's the people I tell that can't.
Abraham Lincoln
Your rights end where my nose begins.
Abraham Lincoln
I could not have slept tonight if I had left that helpless little creature to perish on the ground.
Abraham Lincoln
You cannot help small men by tearing down big men.
Abraham Lincoln
