More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
I cannot bring myself to believe that any human being lives who would do me any harm.
Abraham Lincoln
It is not our frowning battlements...or the strength our gallant and disciplined army? These are not our reliance against a resumption of tyranny in our fair land... Our defense is in the preservation of the spirit which prizes liberty as the heritage of all men, in all lands, everywhere.
Abraham Lincoln
. . . peace is a thing which a person must be willing to fight for . . .
Abraham Lincoln
The highest art is always the most religious, and the greatest artist is always a devout person.
Abraham Lincoln
I did say, at Chicago, in my speech there, that I do wish to see the spread of slavery arrested and to see it placed where the public mind shall rest in the belief that it is in course of ultimate extinction.
Abraham Lincoln
He has got the slows, Mr. Blair.
Abraham Lincoln
Some single mind must be master, else there will be no agreement in anything.
Abraham Lincoln
It is my pleasure that my children are free and happy, and unrestrained by parental tyranny. Love is the chain whereby to bind a child to its parents.
Abraham Lincoln
Be not deceived. Revolutions do not go backward.
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 know that the Lord is always on the side of the right. But it is my constant anxiety and prayer that I and this nation should be on the Lord's side.
Abraham Lincoln
Our political problem now is, Can we as a nation continue together permanently - forever - half slave and half free?
Abraham Lincoln
Anybody will do for you, but not for me.
Abraham Lincoln
Why don't I drink from a straw? Because straws are for suckers.
Abraham Lincoln
This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it. Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing government, they can exercise their constitutional right of amending it, or exercise their revolutionary right to overthrow it.
Abraham Lincoln
I like to see a man proud of the place in which he lives. I like to see a man live so that his place will be proud of him.
Abraham Lincoln
Peace does not appear so distant as it did. I hope it will come soon, and come to stay and so come as to be worth the keeping in all future time.
Abraham Lincoln
If this is coffee, please bring me some tea but if this is tea, please bring me some coffee.
Abraham Lincoln
I have two great enemies, the Southern Army in front of me and the bankers in the rear. Of the two, the one at my rear is my greatest foe.
Abraham Lincoln
The good old maxims of the Bible are applicable, and truly applicable to human affairs, and in this as in other things, we may say here that he who is not for us is against us he would gathereth not with us scattereth.
Abraham Lincoln
