More quotes by Abraham Lincoln

It still will be the abundance of man's heart, that slavery extension is wrong and out of the abundance of his heart, his mouth will continue to speak.
Abraham Lincoln
Let every American, every lover of liberty, every well wisher to his posterity, swear by the blood of the Revolution, never to violate in the least particular, the laws of the country and never to tolerate their violation by others.
Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
I am busily engaged in study of the Bible.
Abraham Lincoln
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
When the hour comes for dealing with slavery, I trust I will be willing to do my duty though it cost my life.
Abraham Lincoln
He can compress the most words into the smallest ideas of any man I ever met.

Shall we stop this bleeding?
