More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
You can have anything you want if you want it badly enough. You can be anything you want to be, do anything you set out to accomplish if you hold to that desire with singleness of purpose.
Abraham Lincoln
The philosophy of the school room in one generation will be the philosophy of government in the next.
Abraham Lincoln
Negroes, like other people, act upon motives. Why should they do anything for us, if we will do nothing for them? If they stake their lives for us, they must be prompted by the strongest motive, even the promise of freedom. And the promise being made, must be kept.
Abraham Lincoln
I think that if anything can be proved by natural theology, it is that slavery is morally wrong. God gave man a mouth to receive bread, hands to feed it, and his hand has a right to carry bread to his mouth without controversy.
Abraham Lincoln
Your organization will take on the personality of its top leaders
Abraham Lincoln
A tendancy to melancholy...let it be observed, is a misfortune, not a fault.
Abraham Lincoln
The best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time.
Abraham Lincoln
The damnest scoundrel that ever lived, but in the infinite mercy of Providence... also the damnest fool.
Abraham Lincoln
My faith in the proposition that each man should do precisely as he pleases with all which is exclusively his own lies at the foundation of the sense of justice there is in me.
Abraham Lincoln
The land, the earth God gave to man for his home ... should never be the possession of any man, corporation, (or) society ... any more than the air or water.
Abraham Lincoln
Life is hard but so very beautiful
Abraham Lincoln
I desire to see the time when education, and by its means, morality, sobriety, enterprise and industry shall become much more general than at present.
Abraham Lincoln
My great concern is not whether you have failed, but whether you are content with your failure.
Abraham Lincoln
Among free men there can be no successful appeal from the ballot to the bullet.
Abraham Lincoln
Few can be induced to labor exclusively for posterity and none will do it enthusiastically. Posterity has done nothing for us and theorize on it as we may, practically we shall do very little for it, unless we are made to think we are at the same time doing something for ourselves.
Abraham Lincoln
There is more involved in this contest than is realized by every one. There is involved in this struggle the question whether your children and my children shall enjoy the privileges we have enjoyed.
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
I never trusted a man who never smoked or drank.
Abraham Lincoln
Money will cease to be master and become the servant of humanity. Democracy will rise superior to the money power.
Abraham Lincoln
You think slavery is right and ought to be extended while we think it is wrong and ought to be restricted. That I suppose is the rub. It certainly is the only substantial difference between us.
Abraham Lincoln
