More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
Next to creating a life the finest thing a man can do is save one.
Abraham Lincoln
As labor is the common burden of our race, so the effort of some to shift their share of the burden onto the shoulders of others is the great durable curse of the race.
Abraham Lincoln
Calling a tail a leg does not make it a leg.
Abraham Lincoln
If i get 8 hours to cut a tree i'll spend 7 hours to sharp my knife.
Abraham Lincoln
Our republican system was meant for a homogeneous people. As long as blacks continue to live with the whites they constitute a threat to the national life. Family life may also collapse and the increase of mixed breed bastards may some day challenge the supremacy of the white man.
Abraham Lincoln
Nor must Uncle Sam's Web-feet be forgotten. At all the watery margins they have been present. Not only on the deep sea, the broadbay, and the rapid river, but also up the narrow muddy bayou, and wherever the ground was a little damp, they have been, and made their tracks.
Abraham Lincoln
I freely acknowledge myself the servant of the people, according to the bond of service - the United States Constitution and that, as such, I am responsible to them.
Abraham Lincoln
As a general rule never take your whole fee in advance, nor any more than a small retainer. When fully paid beforehand, you are more than a common mortal if you can feel the same interest in the case, as if something was still in prospect for you, as well as for your client.
Abraham Lincoln
Honest statesmanship is the wise employment of individual meanness for the public good.
Abraham Lincoln
I always [or often] walk slowly, but I never walk backwards.
Abraham Lincoln
I am always for the man who wishes to work.
Abraham Lincoln
Let the people know the truth and the country is safe.
Abraham Lincoln
You are young, and I am older You are hopeful, I am not- Enjoy life, ere it grow colder- Pluck the roses ere they rot.
Abraham Lincoln
I am now the most miserable man living. If what I feel were felt by the whole human race, there would not be one cheerful face left on earth.
Abraham Lincoln
There is a vague popular belief that lawyers are necessarily dishonest. I say vague, because when we consider to what extent confidence and honors are reposed in and conferred upon lawyers by the people, it appears improbable that their impression of dishonesty is very distinct and vivid. Yet the impression is common, almost universal.
Abraham Lincoln
Am I not destroying my enemies when I make friends of them?
Abraham Lincoln
Familiarize yourself with the chains of bondage and you prepare your own limbs to wear them.
Abraham Lincoln
War, at the best, is terrible, and this war of ours, in its magnitude and in its duration, is one of the most terrible.
Abraham Lincoln
To give victory to the right, not bloody bullets, but peaceful ballots only, are necessary.
Abraham Lincoln
Love is the chain whereby to bind a child to its parents.
Abraham Lincoln
