More quotes by Abraham Lincoln

Image
He can compress the most words into the smallest ideas of any man I ever met.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Nations like individuals are subjected to punishments and chastisements in this world.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I say now, however, as I have all the while said, that on the territorial question - that is, the question of extending slavery under the national auspices, - I am inflexible. I am for no compromise which assists or permits the extension of the institution on soil owned by the nation.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
We will make converts day by day we will grow strong by the violence and injustice of our adversaries. And, unless truth be a mockery and justice a hollow lie, we will be in the majority after a while.
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
You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot establish sound security on borrowed money. You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than you earn.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
The political horizon looks dark and lowering but the people, under Providence, will set all right.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
When the white man governs himself, that is self-government but when he governs himself and also governs another man, that is more than self-government-that is despotism.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
If elected I shall be thankful if not, it will be all the same.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
But in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or to detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
With Malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Do you think we choose the times into which we are born? Or do we fit the times we are born into?
Abraham Lincoln
Image
As President, I have no eyes but constitutional eyes I cannot see you.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live up to the light I have. I must stand with anybody that stands right - stand with him while he is right and part with him when he goes wrong.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
The power of hope upon human exertion, and happiness, is wonderful.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I could write shorter sermons but when I get started I'm too lazy to stop
Abraham Lincoln
Image
A statesman is he who thinks in the future generations, and a politician is he who thinks in the upcoming elections.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I will do what I think is right and when I discover that it is wrong, I will change it.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
The surest way to reveal one's character is not through adversity but by giving them power.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
No State, upon it own mere motion, can lawfully get out of the Union. Resolves and ordinances to that effect are legally nothing. I therefore consider that the Union is unbroken. There needs to be no bloodshed or violence and there shall be none, unless forced upon the national authority.
