More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
Such a man the times have demanded, and such, in the providence of God was given us. But he is gone. Let us strive to deserve, as far as mortals may, the continued care of Divine Providence, trusting that, in future national emergencies, He will not fail to provide us the instruments of safety and security.
Abraham Lincoln
All that harms labor is treason to America.
Abraham Lincoln
Must I shoot a simple-minded soldier boy who deserts, while I must not touch a hair of the wily agitator who induces him to desert? I think that in such a cse to silence the agitator and save the boy is not only constitutional but withal a great mercy.
Abraham Lincoln
A friend is one who has the same enemies as you have.
Abraham Lincoln
Repeal the Missouri Compromise - repeal all compromises - repeal the Declaration of Independence - repeal all past history, you still can not repeal human nature. 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
The ant, who has toiled and dragged a crumb to his nest, will furiously defend the fruit of his labor, against whatever robber assails him. So plain, that the most dumb and stupid slave that ever toiled for a master, does constantly know that he is wronged.
Abraham Lincoln
The President to-night has a dream: - He was in a party of plain people, and, as it became known who he was, they began to comment on his appearance. One of them said: - He is a very common-looking man. The President replied: - The Lord prefers common-looking people. That is the reason he makes so many of them.
Abraham Lincoln
I know not how to aid you, save in the assurance of one of mature age, and much severe experience, that you can not fail, if you resolutely determine, that you will not.
Abraham Lincoln
People are just as happy as they choose to be.
Abraham Lincoln
Sir, my concern is not whether God is on our side my greatest concern is to be on God's side, for God is always right.
Abraham Lincoln
When I have a particular case in hand, I have that motive and feel an interest in the case, feel an interest in ferreting out the questions to the bottom, love to dig up the question by the roots and hold it up and dry it before the fires of the mind.
Abraham Lincoln
The love of property and consciousness of right and wrong have conflicting places in our organization, which often makes a man's course seem crooked, his conduct a riddle.
Abraham Lincoln
I remember my mother's prayers and they have always followed me. They have clung to me all my life.
Abraham Lincoln
If you intend to go to work there is no better place than right where you are if you do not intend to go to work, you can not get along anywhere.
Abraham Lincoln
Oh, that [his Thanksgiving Message] is some of Seward's nonsense, and it pleases the fools.
Abraham Lincoln
At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide.
Abraham Lincoln
Hypocrite: The man who murdered his parents, and then pleaded for mercy on the grounds that he was an orphan.
Abraham Lincoln
When you have got a ticket to send, and you're not a top costumer, it's best not to waste your time.
Abraham Lincoln
I always [or often] walk slowly, but I never walk backwards.
Abraham Lincoln
Whatever spiteful fools may say, Each jealous ranting yelper, No woman ever went astray, Without a man to help her
Abraham Lincoln
