We cannot but believe that He who made the world still governs it.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
If there is anything that a man can do well, I say let him do it. Give him a chance.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
But in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or to detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here.
Abraham Lincoln

Prosperity is the fruit of labor. It begins with saving money.
Abraham Lincoln

America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Lamon, that speech won't scour. It is a flat failure and the people are disappointed.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Towering genius disdains a beaten path. It seeks regions hitherto unexplored.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
We must remember that the people of all the States are entitled to all the privileges and immunities of the citizen of the several States. We should bear this in mind, and act in such a way as to say nothing insulting or irritating. I would inculcate this idea, so that we may not, like Pharisees, set ourselves up to be better than other people.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
As a nation we began by declaring that all me are created equal. We now practically read it, all men are created equal except Negroes.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
If you wish to win a man over to your ideas, first make him your friend.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
We cannot ask a man what he will do, and if we should, and he should answer us, we should despise him for it. Therefore we must take a man whose opinions are known.

Marriage is neither heaven nor hell, it is simply purgatory.
