More quotes by Abraham Lincoln

Image
Let every man remember that to violate the law, is to trample on the blood of his father, and to tear the character of his own, and his children's liberty.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Nobody has ever expected me to be President. In my poor, lean, lank face, nobody has ever seen that any cabbages were sprouting out.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
It may be affirmed, without extravagance, that the free institutions we enjoy, have developed the powers, and improved the condition, of our whole people, beyond any example in the world.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
But fight we must and conquer we shall in the end.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I am for those means which will give the greatest good to the greatest number.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I am glad to see that a system of labor prevails under which laborers can strike when they want to.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Labor is prior to, and independent of, capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
When you make it to the top, turn and reach down for the person behind you.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Those who are ready to sacrifice freedom for security ultimately will lose both.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
In this sad world of ours, sorrow comes to all, and it comes with bitter agony. Perfect relief is not possible, except with the passing of time.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Our common country is in great peril, demanding the loftiest views, and boldest action to bring it speedy relief. Once relieved, its form of government is saved to the world its beloved history, and cherished memories, are vindicated and its happy future fully assured, and rendered inconceivably grand.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
If you have never failed you have never lived.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Well, I suppose you know that men will stand a good deal when they are flattered.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Peace does not appear so distant as it did. I hope it will come soon, and come to stay and so come as to be worth the keeping in all future time.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
The matter of fees is important, far beyond the mere question of bread and butter involved. Properly attended to, fuller justice is done to both lawyer and client.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
One section of our country believes slavery is right, and ought to be extended, while the other believes it is wrong, and ought not to be extended.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Labor is the true standard of value.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise with the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew and act anew.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
The very spot where grew the bread that formed my bones, I see. How strange, old field, on thee to tread, and feel I'm part of thee.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
The human mind is impelled to action, or held in rest by some power, over which the mind itself has no control.
