Submitted to the Sec. of War. On principle I dislike an oath which requires a man to swear he has not done wrong. It rejects the Christian principle of forgiveness on terms of repentance. I think it is enough if the man does no wrong hereafter.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
That our government should have been maintained in its original form from its establishment until now, is not much to be wondered at. It had many props to support it through that period, which now are decayed, and crumbled away. Through that period, it was felt by all, to be an undecided experiment now, it is understood to be a successful one.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Discipline is choosing between what you want now, and what you want most.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I am a patient man--always willing to forgive on the Christian terms of repentance, and also to give ample time for repentance. Still, I must save this government, if possible. What I cannot do, of course I will not do, but it may as well be understood, once for all, that I shall not surrender this game leaving any available card unplayed.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
If you are resolutely determined to make a lawyer of yourself, the thing is more than half done already.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I turn, then, and look to the American people and to that God who has never forsaken them.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here so nobly advanced.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I do not think much of a man who is not wiser today than he was yesterday.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I am now the most miserable man living. If what I feel were felt by the whole human race, there would not be one cheerful face left on earth.
