More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
Continue to execute all the express provisions of our national Constitution, and the Union will endure forever-it being impossible to destroy it, except by some action not provided for in the instrument itself.
Abraham Lincoln
In this age, in this country, public sentiment is everything. With it, nothing can fail against it, nothing can succeed. Whoever molds public sentiment goes deeper than he who enacts statutes, or pronounces judicial decisions.
Abraham Lincoln
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.
Abraham Lincoln
Determine that the thing can and shall be done and then... find the way.
Abraham Lincoln
Calling a tail a leg does not make it a leg.
Abraham Lincoln
I am much indebted to the good Christian people of the country for their constant prayers and consolations and to no one of them, more than to yourself.
Abraham Lincoln
The best way to get rid of your enemies is to make them your friends.
Abraham Lincoln
There' s nothing good in war. Except its ending.
Abraham Lincoln
If the good people in their wisdom shall see fit to keep me in the background, I have been too familiar with disappointments to bevery much chagrined.
Abraham Lincoln
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.
Abraham Lincoln
Through their deeds, the dead of battle have spoken more eloquently for themselves than any of the living ever could. But we can only honor them by rededicating ourselves to the cause for which they gave a last full measure of devotion.
Abraham Lincoln
I believe that every individual is naturally entitled to do as he pleases with himself and the fruits of his labor, so far as it in no way interferes with any other men's rights.
Abraham Lincoln
The Autocrat of all the Russias will resign his crown, and proclaim his subjects free republicans sooner than will our American masters voluntarily give up their slaves.
Abraham Lincoln
I see a very dark cloud on America's horizon, and that cloud is coming from Rome.
Abraham Lincoln
If you are resolutely determined to make a lawyer of yourself, the thing is more than half done already.
Abraham Lincoln
Let us renew our trust in god, and go forward without fear.
Abraham Lincoln
I certainly know that if the war fails, the administration fails, and that I will be blamed for it, whether I deserve it or not. And I ought to be blamed, if I could do better. You think I could do better therefore you blame me already. I think I could not do better therefore I blame you for blaming me.
Abraham Lincoln
An allusion has been made to the Homestead Law. I think it worthy of consideration, and that the wild lands of the country should be distributed so that every man should have the means and opportunity of benefitting his condition.
Abraham Lincoln
The struggle of today is not altogether for today - it is for a vast future also.
Abraham Lincoln
I appeal to all loyal citizens to favor, facilitate and aid this effort to maintain the honor, the integrity, and the existence of our National Union, and the perpetuity of popular government and to redress wrongs already long enough endured.
Abraham Lincoln
