Discourage litigation. Persuade your neighbors to compromise whenever you can.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I claim not to have controlled events, but confess plainly that events have controlled me.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
You are ambitious, which, within reasonable bounds, does good rather than harm.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
My paramount objective in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not to either save or destroy Slavery.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I am a little uneasy about the abolishment of slavery in this District of Columbia.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
A good, real, unrestrained, hearty laugh is a sort of glorified internal massage, performed rapidly and automatically. It manipulates and revitalizes corners and unexplored crannies of the system that are unresponsive to most other exercise methods. With the fearful strain that is on me night and day, if I did not laugh I should die.
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.

At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
What constitutes the bulwark of our own liberty and independence?
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I am busily engaged in the study of the Bible. I believe it is God's word because it finds me where I am.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
He who does something at the head of one Regiment, will eclipse him who does nothing at the head of a hundred.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Tell the truth and you won't have so much to remember
Abraham Lincoln
Image
No man ever got lost on a straight road.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
It is to deny, what the history of the world tells us is true, to suppose that men of ambition and talents will not continue to spring up amongst us. And, when they do, they will as naturally seek the gratification of their ruling passion, as others have so done before them.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
You may burn my body to ashes, and scatter them to the winds of heaven you may drag my soul down to the regions of darkness and despair to be tormented forever but you will never get me to support a measure which I believe to be wrong, although by doing so I may accomplish that which I believe to be right.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
The worst thing you can do for those you love is the things they could and should do themselves.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Education does not mean teaching people what they do not know. It means teaching them to behave as they do not behave.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.
