More quotes by Abraham Lincoln

Labor is the great source from which nearly all, if not all, human comforts and necessities are drawn.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Slavery is founded in the selfishness of man's nature - opposition to it is his love of justice. These principles are an eternal antagonism and when brought into collision so fiercely, as slavery extension brings them, shocks and throes and convulsions must ceaselessly follow.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Our attitude is more honest and more consistent than our words.
Abraham Lincoln

How many legs does a dog have if you call the tail a leg? Four. Calling a tail a leg doesn't make it a leg.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I don't believe in a law to prevent a man from getting rich it would do more harm than good. So while we do not propose any war upon capital, we do wish to allow the humblest man an equal chance to get rich with everybody else.
Abraham Lincoln

All that harms labor is treason to America.
Abraham Lincoln

The leading rule for the lawyer, as for the man of every other calling, is diligence. Leave nothing for to-morrow which can be done to-day. Never let your correspondence fall behind. Whatever piece of business you have in hand, before stopping, do all the labor pertaining to it which can then be done.
Abraham Lincoln

As our case is new, so we must think anew, and act anew.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
These capitalists generally act harmoniously and in concert to fleece the people, and now that they have got into a quarrel with themselves, we are called upon to appropriate the people's money to settle the quarrel.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
The principles of Jefferson are the definitions and axioms of free society.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
It is your business to rise up and preserve the Union and liberty, for yourselves, and not for me. I desire they shall be constitutionally preserved.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Wanting to work is so rare a merit, that it should be encouraged.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Beware of rashness, but with energy and sleepless vigilance go forward and give us victories.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I shall always think of myself first and foremost... as a hunter.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
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.
