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.

More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
Almost every thing, especially of governmental policy, is an inseparable compound of the two [good and evil].
Abraham Lincoln
One section of our country believes slavery is right, and ought to be extended, while the other believes it is wrong, and ought not to be extended.
Abraham Lincoln
I think slavery is wrong, morally, and politically. I desire that it should be no further spread in these United States, and I should not object if it should gradually terminate in the whole Union.
Abraham Lincoln
Your organization will take on the personality of its top leaders
Abraham Lincoln
We shall not fail - if we stand firm, we shall not fail. Wise counsels may accelerate, or mistakes delay it, but, sooner or later, the victory is sure to come.
Abraham Lincoln
Lets have faith that right makes might and in that faith let us, to the end, dare to do our duty as we understand it.
Abraham Lincoln
No man ever got lost on a straight road.
Abraham Lincoln
Politicians are a set of men who have interests aside from the interests of the people and who, to say the most of them, are, taken as a mass, at least one long step removed from honest men
Abraham Lincoln
The Presidency, even to the most experienced politicians, is no bed of roses and [Zachary] Taylor like others, found thorns within it. No human being can fill that station and escape censure.
Abraham Lincoln
I am satisfied that when the Almighty wants me to do or not do any particular thing, He finds a way of letting me know it
Abraham Lincoln
And then, there will be some black men who can remember that, with silent tongue, and clenched teeth, and steady eye, and well-poised bayonnet, they have helped mankind on to this great consummation.
Abraham Lincoln
Lonely men seek companionship. Lonely women sit at home and wait. They never meet.
Abraham Lincoln
As we keep or break the Sabbath Day we nobly save or meanly lose the last best hope by which man rises.
Abraham Lincoln
The government will support you to the utmost of its ability, which is neither more nor less than it has done and will do for allcommanders.
Abraham Lincoln
I will say, then, that I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races: that I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of making voters or jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people.
Abraham Lincoln
When Judge Douglas says that whoever, or whatever community, wants slaves, they have a right to have them, he is perfectly logical if there is nothing wrong in the institution but if you admit that it is wrong, he cannot logically say that anybody has a right to do wrong.
Abraham Lincoln
I think that one of the causes of these repeated failures is that our best and greatest men have greatly underestimated the size of this question (slavery). They have constantly brought forward small cures for great sores-plasters too small to cover the wound. That is one reason that all settlements have proved so temporary-so evanescent.
Abraham Lincoln
I desire so to conduct the affairs of this administration that if at the end... I have lost every other friend on earth, I shall at least have one friend left, and that friend shall be down inside of me.
Abraham Lincoln
I have not permitted myself, gentlemen, to conclude that I am the best man in the country but I am reminded, in this connection, of a story of an old Dutch farmer, who remarked to a companion once that it was not best to swap horses when crossing streams.
Abraham Lincoln
Don't be fooled. I kept all my workout clothes in that top hat.
Abraham Lincoln
