More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
Neither party expected for the war, the magnitude, or the duration, which it has already attained. Neither anticipated that the cause of the conflict might cease with, or even before, the conflict itself should cease.
Abraham Lincoln
There are no accidents in my philosophy. Every effect must have its cause. The past is the cause of the present, and the present will be the cause of the future. All these are links in the endless chain stretching from the finite to the infinite.
Abraham Lincoln
If I were to try to read, much less answer, all the attacks made on me, this shop might as well be closed for any other business.
Abraham Lincoln
In this troublesome world, we are never quite satisfied. When you were here, I thought you hindered me some in attending to business but now, having nothing but business---no variety---it has grown exceedingly tasteless to me. I hate to sit down and direct documents, and I hate to stay in this old room by myself.
Abraham Lincoln
The time comes upon every public man when it is best for him to keep his lips closed.
Abraham Lincoln
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.
Abraham Lincoln
The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here so nobly advanced.
Abraham Lincoln
Beware of rashness, but with energy and sleepless vigilance go forward and give us victories.
Abraham Lincoln
These capitalists generally act harmoniously and in concert, to fleece the people.
Abraham Lincoln
Certainly there is no contending against the Will of God but still there is some difficulty in ascertaining, and applying it, to particular cases.
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
So you're the little woman who wrote the book that made this great war!
Abraham Lincoln
You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot lift the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer.
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
If all do not join now to save the good old ship of the Union this voyage nobody will have a chance to pilot her on another voyage.
Abraham Lincoln
A long visit to a friend is often a great bore. Never make people twice glad.
Abraham Lincoln
The ant, who has toiled and dragged a crumb to his nest, will furiously defend the fruit of his labor, against whatever robber assails him. So plain, that the most dumb and stupid slave that ever toiled for a master, does constantly know that he is wronged.
Abraham Lincoln
Nations do not die from invasion they die from internal rottenness.
Abraham Lincoln
I would like to speak in terms of praise due to the many brave officers and soldiers who have fought in the cause of the war.
Abraham Lincoln
Again I admonish you not to be turned from your stern purpose of defending your beloved country and its free institutions by any arguments urged by ambitious and designing men, but stand fast to the Union and the old flag.
Abraham Lincoln
