Image
The things I want to know are in books my best friend is the man who'll get me a book I ain't read.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
My friends I now leave, not knowing when, or whether ever, I may return, with a task before me greater than that which rested upon Washington. Without the assistance of that Divine Being, who ever attended him, I cannot succeed. With that assistance, I cannot fail.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I think that one of the causes of these repeated failures is that our best and greatest men have greatly underestimated the size of this question (slavery). They have constantly brought forward small cures for great sores-plasters too small to cover the wound. That is one reason that all settlements have proved so temporary-so evanescent.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
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.

Image
I hear you have abolitionists here. We have a few in Illinois, but we shot one the other day.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
The Constitution is not a suicide pact.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Every blade of grass is a study and to produce two, where there was but one, is both a profit and a pleasure.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
If you trust, you will be disappointed occasionally, but if you mistrust, you will be miserable all the time.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Wanting to work is so rare a merit, that it should be encouraged.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
No man is poor who has a Godly mother.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Elections belong to the people. It's their decision.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Should my administration prove to be a very wicked one...or a very foolish one, if you, the people, are true to yourselves and the Constitution, there is little harm I can do, thank God.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I have not permitted myself, gentlemen, to conclude that I am the best man in the country but I am reminded, in this connection, of a story of an old Dutch farmer, who remarked to a companion once that it was not best to swap horses when crossing streams.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
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
Image
The Autocrat of all the Russias will resign his crown, and proclaim his subjects free republicans sooner than will our American masters voluntarily give up their slaves.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Tact is the ability to describe others as they see themselves.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
My father taught me to work, but not to love it. I never did like to work, and I don't deny it. I'd rather read, tell stories, crack jokes, talk, laugh -- anything but work.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
To correct the evils, great and small, which spring from want of sympathy and from positive enmity among strangers, as nations or as individuals, is one of the highest functions of civilization.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I am an optimist because I don't see the point in being anything else.
