More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
Intoxicated with unbroken success, we have become too self sufficient to feel the necessity of redeeming and preserving grace, too proud to pray to the God that made us.
Abraham Lincoln
Tell the truth and you won't have so much to remember
Abraham Lincoln
God is the silent partner in ALL great enterprises.
Abraham Lincoln
If we know where we are and something about how we got there, we might see where we are trending - and if the outcomes which lie naturally in our course are unacceptable, to make timely change.
Abraham Lincoln
You must think I am a high-priced man.... Fifteen dollars is enough for the job. I send you a receipt for fifteen dollars, and return to you a ten-dollar bill.
Abraham Lincoln
I am not in favor of making voters or jurors of Negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office.

Such will be a great lesson of peace: teaching men that what they cannot take by an election, neither can they take it by war.
Abraham Lincoln
The best time to stop a fight is before it starts. The best vitamin for developing friends is B1. The best way to destroy an enemy in to make him a friend.

Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
When I get ready to talk to people, I spend two thirds of the time thinking what they want to hear and one third thinking about what I want to say.
Abraham Lincoln
If I care to listen to every criticism, let alone act on them, then this shop may as well be closed for all other businesses. I have learned to do my best, and if the end result is good then I do not care for any criticism, but if the end result is not good, then even the praise of ten angels would not make the difference.
Abraham Lincoln
We meet this evening, not in sorrow, but in gladness of heart.
Abraham Lincoln
I know that the Lord is always on the side of the right. But it is my constant anxiety and prayer that I and this nation should be on the Lord's side.
Abraham Lincoln
Destroy your enemy by making him your friend.
Abraham Lincoln
I belive that people should fight for what they believe and only what they believe.
Abraham Lincoln
[If not re-elected in 1864] then it will be my duty to so co-operate with the President elect, as to save the Union between the election and the inauguration as he will have secured his election on such ground that he can not possibly save it afterwards.
Abraham Lincoln
My father taught me to work, but not to love it. I never did like to work, and I don't deny it. I'd rather read, tell stories, crack jokes, talk, laugh -- anything but work.
Abraham Lincoln
Do you think we choose the times into which we are born? Or do we fit the times we are born into?
Abraham Lincoln
