More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
God is the silent partner in ALL great enterprises.
Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
My politics are short and sweet, like the old woman's dance.
Abraham Lincoln
In the present civil war it is quite possible that God's purpose is something different from the purpose of either party.
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
These capitalists generally act harmoniously and in concert to fleece the people, and now that they have got into a quarrel with themselves, we are called upon to appropriate the people's money to settle the quarrel.
Abraham Lincoln
Violence begins where knowledge ends.
Abraham Lincoln
I have stepped out upon this platform that I may see you and that you may see me, and in the arrangement I have the best of the bargain.

Abraham Lincoln
