More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
A majority held in restraint by constitutional checks and limitations...is the only true sovereign of a free people. Whoever rejects it does of necessity fly to anarchy or to despotism.
Abraham Lincoln
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
I have endured a great deal of ridicule without much malice and have received a great deal of kindness, not quite free from ridicule. I am used to it.
Abraham Lincoln
Many free countries have lost their liberty, and ours may lose hers but, if she shall, be it my proudest plume, not that I was the last to desert, but that I never deserted her.
Abraham Lincoln
If you once forfeit the confidence of your fellow citizens, you can never regain their respect and esteem. It is true that you may fool all of the people some of the time you can even fool some of the people all of the time but you can't fool all of the people all of the time. -Speech at Clinton, Illinois, September 8, 1854.
Abraham Lincoln
I understand that it is a maxim of law, that a poor plea may be a good plea to a bad declaration.
Abraham Lincoln
There may sometimes be ungenerous attempts to keep a young man down and they will succeed too, if he allows his mind to be diverted from its true channel to brood over the attempted injury. Cast about, and see if this feeling has not injured every person you have ever known to fall into it.
Abraham Lincoln
Singular indeed the people should be writhing under oppression and injury, and yet not one among them to be found, to raise the voice of complaint.
Abraham Lincoln
So you're the little woman who wrote the book that made this great war!
Abraham Lincoln
I am now the most miserable man living. If what I feel were felt by the whole human race, there would not be one cheerful face left on earth.
Abraham Lincoln
And whereas it is the duty of nations as well as of men, to own their dependence upon the overruling power of God ... and to recognize the sublime truth, announced in the Holy Scriptures and proven by all history, that those nations only are blessed whose God is the Lord.
Abraham Lincoln
The good old maxims of the Bible are applicable, and truly applicable to human affairs, and in this as in other things, we may say here that he who is not for us is against us he would gathereth not with us scattereth.
Abraham Lincoln
I believe the Bible is the best gift God ever gave to man. All the good from the Savior of the world is communicated to us through that book. On a personal spiritual note, Lincoln confessed, I have been driven many times to my knees with the overwhelming conviction, that I had nowhere else to go.
Abraham Lincoln
A house divided against itself cannot stand.
Abraham Lincoln
There is an important sense in which government is distinctive from administration. One is perpetual, the other is temporary and changeable. A man may be loyal to his government and yet oppose the particular principles and methods of administration.
Abraham Lincoln
Life is hard but so very beautiful
Abraham Lincoln
Now if you should hear any one say that Lincoln don't [sic] want to go to Congress, I wish you as a personal friend of mine, wouldtell him that you have reason to believe he is mistaken.
Abraham Lincoln
Were it not for my little jokes, I could not bear the burdens of this office.
Abraham Lincoln
Bring me Longstreet's head on a platter and the war will be over
Abraham Lincoln
When I lay down the reins of this administration, I want to have one friend left. And that friend is myself.
Abraham Lincoln
