Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
The strongest bond of human sympathy outside the family relation should be one uniting working people of all nations and tongues and kindreds.
Abraham Lincoln
I want it said of me by those who knew me best, that I always plucked a thistle and planted a flower where I thought a flower would grow.
Abraham Lincoln
It's not me who can't keep a secret. It's the people I tell that can't.
Abraham Lincoln
Women are the only people I am afraid of who I never thought would hurt me
