Be sure you put your feet in the right place, then stand firm.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
As a general rule, I abstain from reading reports of attacks upon myself, wishing not to be provoked by that to which I cannot properly offer an answer.
Abraham Lincoln

Do the people of the South really entertain fears that a Republican administration would, directly, or indirectly, interfere with their slaves, or with them, about their slaves? If they do, I wish to assure you, as once a friend, and still, I hope, not an enemy, that there is no cause for such fears.

Yet the impression is common, almost universal.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
You say you will not fight to free negroes. Some of them seem willing to fight for you but, no matter. Fight you, then exclusively to save the Union.
Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln

Have I not destroyed my enemy when I have made him into my friend?
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Again I admonish you not to be turned from your stern purpose of defending your beloved country and its free institutions by any arguments urged by ambitious and designing men, but stand fast to the Union and the old flag.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
If slavery is not wrong, nothing is wrong.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
All my life I have tried to pluck a thistle and plant a flower wherever the flower would grow in thought and mind.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I hold that while a man exists, it is his duty to improve not only his own condition, but to assist in ameliorating mankind.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I cannot bring myself to believe that any human being lives who would do me any harm.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
If all men were just, there still would be some, though not so much, need of government.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
And while it has not pleased the Almighty to bless us with a return of peace, we can but press on, guided by the best light He gives, trusting that in His own good time, and wise way, all will yet be well.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
To give victory to the right, not bloody bullets, but peaceful ballots only, are necessary.
