Legislation and adjudication must follow, and conform to, the progress of society.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Many free countries have lost their liberty, and ours may lose hers but, if she shall, be it my proudest plume, not that I was the last to desert, but that I never deserted her.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I believe I shall never be old enough to speak without embarrassment when I have nothing to talk about.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
We shall sooner have the fowl by hatching the egg than by smashing it.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I could not sleep when I got on the hunt for an idea, until I had caught it. This was a kind of passion with me, and it has stuck with me.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
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
Image
We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory will swell when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.
Abraham Lincoln
Image

Abraham Lincoln
Image
Towering genius...thirsts and burns for distinction and, if possible, it will have it, whether at the expense of emancipating slaves or enslaving freeman.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I shall adopt new views as fast as they shall appear to be true views.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Persuasion, kind, unassuming persuasion, should be adopted to influence the conduct of men. The opposite course would be a reversal of human nature, which is God's decree and can never be reversed.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
My God! My God! What will the country say?
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I do, therefore, invite my fellow citizens . . . to set apart and observe the last Thursday of November next, as a day of Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I shall be most happy indeed if I shall be an humble instrument in the hands of the Almighty, and of this his almost chosen people.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Through their deeds, the dead of battle have spoken more eloquently for themselves than any of the living ever could. But we can only honor them by rededicating ourselves to the cause for which they gave a last full measure of devotion.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
If any should be slaves, it should be first those who desire it for themselves, and secondly, those who desire it for others
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I have always believed that a good laugh was good for both the mental and physical digestion.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
If all men were just, there still would be some, though not so much, need of government.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Work, work, work, is the main thing.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
He will have to learn, I know, that all people are not just- that all men and women are not true. Teach him that for every scoundrel there is a hero that for every enemy there is a friend. Let him learn early that the bullies are the easiest people to lick.
