More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
We find ourselves under the government of a system of political institutions, conducing more essentially to the ends of civil and religious liberty, than any of which the history of former times tells us.
Abraham Lincoln
That our government should have been maintained in its original form from its establishment until now, is not much to be wondered at. It had many props to support it through that period, which now are decayed, and crumbled away. Through that period, it was felt by all, to be an undecided experiment now, it is understood to be a successful one.
Abraham Lincoln
We shall meanly lose or nobly save the last hope of earth.
Abraham Lincoln
If you would win a man to your cause, first convince him that you are his sincere friend.
Abraham Lincoln
Wanting to work is so rare a merit, that it should be encouraged.
Abraham Lincoln
What is conservatism? Is it not the adherence to the old and tried against the new and untried?
Abraham Lincoln
No client ever had money enough to bribe my conscience or to stop its utterance against wrong, and oppression.
Abraham Lincoln
It may be affirmed, without extravagance, that the free institutions we enjoy, have developed the powers, and improved the condition, of our whole people, beyond any example in the world.
Abraham Lincoln
I could not sleep when I got on the hunt for an idea, until I had caught it. This was a kind of passion with me, and it has stuck with me.
Abraham Lincoln
Hold on with a bulldog grip, and chew and choke as much as possible.
Abraham Lincoln
Without slavery the rebellion could never have existed without slavery it could not continue.
Abraham Lincoln
The Union is much older than the Constitution. It was formed in fact, by the Articles of Association in 1774. It was matured and continued by the Declaration of Independence in 1776.
Abraham Lincoln
I am now the most miserable man living. If what I feel were felt by the whole human race, there would not be one cheerful face left on earth.
Abraham Lincoln
All that serves labor serves the Nation. All ^ that harms labor is treason to America. No line can be drawn between these two. If any man tells you he loves America, yet hates labor, he is a liar. If any man tells you he trusts America, yet fears labor, he is a fool. There is no America without labor, and to fleece the one is to rob the other.
Abraham Lincoln
Cling to liberty and right battle fro them leed for them die for them, if need be and have confidence in God.
Abraham Lincoln
People are just as happy as they choose to be.
Abraham Lincoln
It is a sin to be silent when it is your duty to protest.
Abraham Lincoln
May the Almighty grant that the cause of truth, justice, and humanity, shall in no wise suffer at my hands.
Abraham Lincoln
Property is the fruit of labor property is desirable it is a positive good.
Abraham Lincoln
Better give your path to a dog than be bitten by him in contesting for the right. Even killing the dog would not cure the bite
Abraham Lincoln
