Commitment is what transforms a promise into a reality... Commitment is the stuff character is made of the power to change the face of things. It is the daily triumph of integrity over skepticism.

More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
I can make brigadier generals, but i can't make horses.
Abraham Lincoln
That our government should have been maintained in its original form from its establishment until now, is not much to be wondered at. It had many props to support it through that period, which now are decayed, and crumbled away. Through that period, it was felt by all, to be an undecided experiment now, it is understood to be a successful one.
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
The people know their rights, and they are never slow to assert and maintain them, when they are invaded.
Abraham Lincoln
President Lincoln was once criticized for his attitude toward his enemies. Why do you try to make friends of them? asked an associate. You should try to destroy them. Am I not destroying my enemies, Lincoln gently replied, when I make them my friends?
Abraham Lincoln
Anxiety beclouds the future.
Abraham Lincoln
It is rather for us here dedicated to the great task remaining before us, that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion.
Abraham Lincoln
If I were two-faced, would I be wearing this one?
Abraham Lincoln
Among free men there can be no successful appeal from the ballot to the bullet.
Abraham Lincoln
I think that one of the causes of these repeated failures is that our best and greatest men have greatly underestimated the size of this question (slavery). They have constantly brought forward small cures for great sores-plasters too small to cover the wound. That is one reason that all settlements have proved so temporary-so evanescent.
Abraham Lincoln
Relying, as I do, upon the Almighty Power, and encouraged as I am by these resolutions which you have just read, with the support which I receive from Christian men, I shall not hesitate to use all the means at my control to secure the termination of this rebellion, and will hope for success.
Abraham Lincoln
This is a world of compensations and he who would be no slave, must consent to have no slave.
Abraham Lincoln
In your hands, my dissatisfied fellow-countrymen, and not in mine, is the momentous issue of civil war.
Abraham Lincoln
Will springs from the two elements of moral sense and self-interest.
Abraham Lincoln
Books serve to show a man that those original thoughts of his aren't very new at all.
Abraham Lincoln
Nations do not die from invasion they die from internal rottenness.
Abraham Lincoln
Never stir up litigation, a worse man can scarcely be found than one who does this, who can be more nearly a fiend than he who habitually overhauls the register of deeds in search of defects in titles, whereon to stir up strife, and put money in his pocket?
Abraham Lincoln
It's bad. It's damned bad.
Abraham Lincoln
Intelligence, patriotism, Christianity, and a firm reliance on Him, who has never yet forsaken this favored land, are still competent to adjust, in the best way, all our present difficulty.
Abraham Lincoln
I go for all sharing the privileges of the government who assist in bearing its burdens. Consequently I go for admitting all whites to the right of suffrage who pay taxes or bear arms, by no means excluding females.
Abraham Lincoln
