The Presidency, even to the most experienced politicians, is no bed of roses and [Zachary] Taylor like others, found thorns within it. No human being can fill that station and escape censure.

More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
If I gave McClellan all the men he asked for, they could not find room to lie down they'd have to sleep standing up.
Abraham Lincoln
Can treaties be more faithfully enforced between aliens than laws can among friends? Suppose you go to war, you cannot fight always and when, after much loss on both sides, and no gain on either, you cease fighting, the identical old questions as to terms of intercourse are again upon you.
Abraham Lincoln
Nations like individuals are subjected to punishments and chastisements in this world.
Abraham Lincoln
I am much indebted to the good Christian people of the country for their constant prayers and consolations and to no one of them, more than to yourself.
Abraham Lincoln
I have never studied the art of paying compliments to women but I must say that if all that has been said by orators and poets since the creation of the world in praise of women were applied to the women of America, it would not do them justice for their conduct during this war.
Abraham Lincoln
Two of my favorite things are sitting on my front porch smoking a pipe of sweet hemp, and playing my Hohner harmonica.
Abraham Lincoln
Stand with anybody that stands right, stand with him while he is right and part with him when he goes wrong.
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
I believe the Bible is the best gift God ever gave to man. All the good from the Savior of the world is communicated to us through that book. On a personal spiritual note, Lincoln confessed, I have been driven many times to my knees with the overwhelming conviction, that I had nowhere else to go.
Abraham Lincoln
Do not destroy that immortal emblem of humanity, the Declaration of Independence.
Abraham Lincoln
I think that God means that we shall do more than we have yet done in furtherance of his plans and he will open the way for our doing it.
Abraham Lincoln
I turn, then, and look to the American people and to that God who has never forsaken them.
Abraham Lincoln
How many times have I laughed at you telling me plainly that I was too lazy to be anything but a lawyer.
Abraham Lincoln
I am naturally anti-slavery. If slavery is not wrong, nothing is wrong. I can not remember when I did not so think, and feel. And yet I have never understood that the Presidency conferred upon me an unrestricted right to act officially upon this judgment and feeling.
Abraham Lincoln
If this country is ever demoralized, it will come from trying to live without work.
Abraham Lincoln
If the American people could learn what I know of the fierce hatred of the priests of Rome against our institutions, our schools, our most sacred rights, and our so dearly bought liberties, they would drive them out as traitors.
Abraham Lincoln
So plain that no one, high or low, ever does mistake it, except in a plainly selfish way for although volume upon volume is written to prove slavery a very good thing, we never hear of the man who wishes to take the good of it, by being a slave himself.
Abraham Lincoln
You know I dislike slavery and you fully admit the abstract wrong of it.
Abraham Lincoln
Our common country is in great peril, demanding the loftiest views, and boldest action to bring it speedy relief.
Abraham Lincoln
It doesn't mater if you're a slow walker, so long as you don't walk backwards.
Abraham Lincoln
