Abraham Lincoln

As to your kind wishes for myself, allow me to say I can not enter the ring on the money basis--first, because, in the main, it iswrong and secondly, I have not, and can not get, the money. I say, in the main, the use of money is wrong but for certain objects, in a political contest, the use of some, is both right, and indispensable.
Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
Image
As long as the Almighty permitted intelligent men, created in his image and likeness, to fight in public and kill each other while the world looks on approvingly, it's not for me to deprive the chickens of the same privilege.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Think of strangers as friends you not met yet.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Common looking people are the best in the world: that is the reason the Lord makes so many of them.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
The love of property and consciousness of right and wrong have conflicting places in our organization, which often makes a man's course seem crooked, his conduct a riddle.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
One is a majority if he is right.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
The good old maxims of the Bible are applicable, and truly applicable to human affairs, and in this as in other things, we may say here that he who is not for us is against us he would gathereth not with us scattereth.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
When I hear a man preach, I like to see him act as if he were fighting bees.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
If they do kill me, I shall never die another death.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
We accepted this war for an object, a worthy object, and the war will end when that object is attained. Under God, I hope it never will until that time.
