Abraham Lincoln
The best way to destroy an enemy is to make him a friend.
Abraham Lincoln
I do the very best I know how - the very best I can and I mean to keep on doing so until the end.
Abraham Lincoln
It is not our frowning battlements...or the strength our gallant and disciplined army? These are not our reliance against a resumption of tyranny in our fair land... Our defense is in the preservation of the spirit which prizes liberty as the heritage of all men, in all lands, everywhere.
Abraham Lincoln
It is a good face. I am glad this war is over at last.
Abraham Lincoln
Ready are we all to cry out and ascribe motives when our toes are pinched.
Abraham Lincoln
Great men are ordinary men with extra ordinary determination.
Abraham Lincoln
My experience has taught me that a man who has no vices has damned few virtues.
Abraham Lincoln
I am very glad indeed to see you to-night, and yet I will not say I thank you for this call, but I do most sincerely thank Almighty God for the occasion on which you have called.
Abraham Lincoln
These capitalists generally act harmoniously and in concert, to fleece the people.
Abraham Lincoln
The eyes of that species of extinct giant, whose bones fill the mounds of America, have gazed on Niagara as our eyes do now.
Abraham Lincoln
