More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
It has been said of the world's history hitherto that might makes right. It is for us and for our time to reverse the maxim, and to say that right makes might.
Abraham Lincoln
When I got him out he was near froze solid and shivering. He was shaking so hard that I wasted half a glass of whiskey trying to aim it for his mouth. Must have got enough of it into him, though, since it did seem to bring him back to life.
Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
Let no feeling of discouragement prey upon you, and in the end you are sure to succeed.
Abraham Lincoln
We should be too big to take offense and too noble to give it.
Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
It has long been recognized that the problems with alcohol relate not to the use of a bad thing, but to the abuse of a good thing.
Abraham Lincoln
If there is anything that links the human to the divine, it is the courage to stand by a principle when everybody else rejects it.
Abraham Lincoln
So you're the little woman who wrote the book that made this great war!
Abraham Lincoln
Lamon, that speech won't scour. It is a flat failure and the people are disappointed.
Abraham Lincoln
When arguing with a fool, make sure the opponent isn't doing the exact same thing.
Abraham Lincoln
No matter how much cats fight, there always seem to be plenty of kittens.
Abraham Lincoln
Received as I am by the members of a legislature the majority of whom do not agree with me in political sentiments, I trust that I may have their assistance in piloting the ship of state through this voyage, surrounded by perils as it is for if it should suffer wreck now, there will be no pilot ever needed for another voyage.
Abraham Lincoln
We cannot ask a man what he will do, and if we should, and he should answer us, we should despise him for it. Therefore we must take a man whose opinions are known.
Abraham Lincoln
Towering genius disdains a beaten path. It seeks regions hitherto unexplored.
Abraham Lincoln
You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot establish sound security on borrowed money. You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than you earn.
Abraham Lincoln
