More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
To read in the Bible, as the word of God himself, that In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, [] and to preach there-from that, In the sweat of other mans faces shalt thou eat bread, to my mind can scarcely be reconciled with honest sincerity.
Abraham Lincoln
Our popular government has often been called an experiment. Two points in it our people have already settled, the successful establishing and the successful administering of it. One still remains, its successful maintenance against a formidable internal attempt to overthrow it.
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
You may have a wen or a cancer upon your person and not be able to cut it out lest you bleed to death but surely it is no way tocure it, to engraft it and spread it over your whole body.
Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
Lonely men seek companionship. Lonely women sit at home and wait. They never meet.
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
Any society that takes away from those most capable and gives to the least will perish.
Abraham Lincoln
Man is not the only animal who labors but he is the only one who improves his workmanship.
Abraham Lincoln
Our strife pertains to ourselves-to the passing generations of men-and it can without convulsion be hushed forever with the passing of one generation.
Abraham Lincoln
I wish all men to be free. I wish the material prosperity of the already free which I feel sure the extinction of slavery would bring.
Abraham Lincoln
Now, at the end of three years struggle the nation's condition is not what either party, or any man devised, or expected. God alone can claim it.
Abraham Lincoln
My earlier views of the unsoundness of the Christian scheme of salvation and the human origin of the scriptures have become clearer and stronger with advancing years, and I see no reason for thinking I shall ever change them.
Abraham Lincoln
If the negro is a man, why then my ancient faith teaches me that ‘all men are created equal,' and that there can be no moral right in connection with one man's making a slave of another.
Abraham Lincoln
But fight we must and conquer we shall in the end.
Abraham Lincoln
Be excellent and party on dudes.
Abraham Lincoln
I have two great enemies, the Southern Army in front of me and the bankers in the rear. Of the two, the one at my rear is my greatest foe.
Abraham Lincoln
