More quotes by Abraham Lincoln

Image
If I care to listen to every criticism, let alone act on them, then this shop may as well be closed for all other businesses. I have learned to do my best, and if the end result is good then I do not care for any criticism, but if the end result is not good, then even the praise of ten angels would not make the difference.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
All that serves labor serves the Nation. All ^ that harms labor is treason to America. No line can be drawn between these two. If any man tells you he loves America, yet hates labor, he is a liar. If any man tells you he trusts America, yet fears labor, he is a fool. There is no America without labor, and to fleece the one is to rob the other.

As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master. This expresses my idea of democracy.

The leading rule for the lawyer, as for the man of every other calling, is diligence. Leave nothing for to-morrow which can be done to-day. Never let your correspondence fall behind. Whatever piece of business you have in hand, before stopping, do all the labor pertaining to it which can then be done.
Abraham Lincoln

Let reverence for the laws, be breathed by every American mother, to the lisping babe, that prattles on her lap - let it be taught in schools, in seminaries, and in colleges let it be written in Primmers, spelling books, and in Almanacs let it be preached from the pulpit, proclaimed in legislative halls, and enforced in courts of justice.

If we believe the Bible, we must accept the fact that, in the old days, God and his angels came to humans in their sleep and made themselves known in dreams.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Negroes, like other people, act upon motives. Why should they do anything for us, if we will do nothing for them? If they stake their lives for us, they must be prompted by the strongest motive, even the promise of freedom. And the promise being made, must be kept.
Abraham Lincoln

I think the authors of that notable instrument [the Declaration of Independence] intended to include all men.
Abraham Lincoln

I hold the value of life is to improve one's condition. Whatever is calculated to advance the condition of the honest, struggling laboring man, so far as my judgment will enable me to judge of a correct thing, I am for that thing.
Abraham Lincoln

With firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I believe, if we take habitual drunkards as a class, their heads and their hearts will bear an advantageous comparison with those of any other class. There seems ever to have been a proneness in the brilliant and warm-blooded to fall into this vice.

My Dear McClellan, if you don't want to use the army I should like to borrow it for a while. Yours respectfully.

Stand with anybody that stands right, stand with him while he is right and part with him when he goes wrong.

Without slavery the rebellion could never have existed without slavery it could not continue.

If elected I shall be thankful if not, it will be all the same.

My experience has taught me that a man who has no vices has damned few virtues.

The power of hope upon human exertion, and happiness, is wonderful.

When arguing with a fool, make sure the opponent isn't doing the exact same thing.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Any people anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the right to rise up, and shake off the existing government, and form a new one that suits them better. This is a most valuable - a most sacred right - a right, which we hope and believe, is to liberate the world.

I believe the Bible is the best gift God has ever given to man. All the good from The Savior of the world is communicated to us through this Book.
