More quotes by 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
The master not only governs the slave without his consent, but he governs him by a set of rules altogether different from those which he prescribes for himself. Allow ALL the governed an equal voice in the government, and that, and that only, is self-government.
Abraham Lincoln
I hope to stand firm enough to not go backward, and yet not go forward fast enough to wreck the country's cause.
Abraham Lincoln
We must believe that He permits it [this war] for some wise purpose of his own, mysterious and unknown to us and though with ourlimited understandings we may not be able to comprehend it, yet we cannot but believe, that he who made the world still governs it.
Abraham Lincoln
I am struggling to maintain the government, not to overthrow it. I am struggling especially to prevent others from overthrowing it.
Abraham Lincoln
You cannot have the right to do what is wrong!
Abraham Lincoln
Force is all conquering, but it's victories are short lived.
Abraham Lincoln
Destroy your enemy by making him your friend.
Abraham Lincoln
The way for a young man to rise is to improve himself in every way he can, never suspecting that anybody wishes to hinder him.
Abraham Lincoln
If we have no friends, we have no pleasure and if we have them, we are sure to lose them, and be doubly pained by the loss.
Abraham Lincoln
Familiarize yourself with the chains of bondage and you prepare your own limbs to wear them.
Abraham Lincoln
Money powers prey upon the nation in times of peace & conspire against it in times of adversity.
Abraham Lincoln
Without slavery the rebellion could never have existed without slavery it could not continue.
Abraham Lincoln
We can not have free government without elections and if the rebellion could force us to forego, or postpone a national election it might fairly claim to have already conquered and ruined us.
Abraham Lincoln
Public opinion, though often formed upon a wrong basis, yet generally has a strong underlying sense of justice.
Abraham Lincoln
The philosophy of the school room in one generation will be the philosophy of government in the next.
Abraham Lincoln
If both factions, or neither, shall abuse you, you will probably be about right. Beware of being assailed by one and praised by the other.
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
We all declare for liberty, but in using the same word we do not all mean the same thing.
Abraham Lincoln
In your hands, my dissatisfied fellow-countrymen, and not in mine, is the momentous issue of civil war.
Abraham Lincoln
