Well, I suppose you know that men will stand a good deal when they are flattered.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Some day I shall be President.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
But let the past as nothing be. For the future my view is that the fight must go on.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
The Union, and the Constitution, are the picture of silver, subsequently framed around it. The picture was not made to conceal or destroy the apple, but to adorn and preserve it. The picture was made for the apple-not the apple for the picture.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
All true wisdom is found on T-shirts.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
In order to win a man to your cause, you must first reach his heart, the great high road to his reason.
Abraham Lincoln

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
Image
When the conduct of men is designed to be influenced, persuasion, kind, unassuming persuasion, should ever be adopted. It is an old and a true maxim, that 'a drop of honey catches more flies than a gallon of gall.'
Abraham Lincoln
Image

Abraham Lincoln
Image
Freedom is the last, best hope of earth.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
We all declare for liberty, but in using the same word we do not all mean the same thing.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
The master not only governs the slave without his consent, but he governs him by a set of rules altogether different from those which he prescribes for himself. Allow ALL the governed an equal voice in the government, and that, and that only, is self-government.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Friends, I agree with you in Providence but I believe in the Providence of the most men, the largest purse, and the longest cannon.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
It is easiest to be all things to all men, but it is not honest. Self-respect must be sacrificed every hour in the day.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I have always believed that a good laugh was good for both the mental and physical digestion.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
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.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Prosperity is the fruit of labor. It begins with saving money.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I would rather be assassinated than see a single star removed from the American flag.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
What I want is to get done what the people desire to have done, and the question for me is how to find that out exactly.
