More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
I don't s'pose anybody on earth likes gingerbread better'n I do-and gets less'n I do.
Abraham Lincoln
The legalized liquor business is the tragedy of our civilization. Alcohol is the greatest and most blighting curse of our modern civilization. The liquor seller is simply and only a privileged malefactor - a criminal.
Abraham Lincoln
Next to creating a life the finest thing a man can do is save one.
Abraham Lincoln
But, slavery is good for some people! ! ! As a good thing, slavery is strikingly peculiar, in this, that it is the only good thing which no man ever seeks the good of, for himself.
Abraham Lincoln
Familiarize yourselves with the chains of bondage and you prepare your own limbs to wear them. Accustomed to trample on the rights of others, you have lost the genius of your own independence and become the fit subjects of the first cunning tyrant who rises among you.
Abraham Lincoln
In my entire life I have only met four perfect people... and I disliked them all.
Abraham Lincoln
Education does not mean teaching people what they do not know. It means teaching them to behave as they do not behave.
Abraham Lincoln
Women are the only people I am afraid of who I never thought would hurt me
Abraham Lincoln
Friendship is the start for what you call love.
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
The love of property and consciousness of right and wrong have conflicting places in our organization, which often makes a man's course seem crooked, his conduct a riddle.
Abraham Lincoln
I have always thought that all men should be free but if any should be slaves, it should be first those who desire for themselves, and secondly those who desire it for others. Whenever I hear anyone arguing for slavery, I feel a strong impulse to see it tried on him personally.
Abraham Lincoln
I am in favor of animal rights as well as human rights. That is the way of a whole human being.
Abraham Lincoln
Labor is the great source from which nearly all, if not all, human comforts and necessities are drawn.
Abraham Lincoln
Leave nothing for to-morrow which can be done to-day.
Abraham Lincoln
A universal feeling, whether well or ill founded, cannot be safely disregarded.
Abraham Lincoln
I have never united myself to any church because I found difficulty in giving my assent without mental reservation to the long, complicated statements of Christian doctrine which characterize the articles of belief and the usual confession of faith.
Abraham Lincoln
If the good people in their wisdom shall see fit to keep me in the background, I have been too familiar with disappointments to bevery much chagrined.
Abraham Lincoln
Lets have faith that right makes might and in that faith let us, to the end, dare to do our duty as we understand it.
Abraham Lincoln
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
