More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
The best way to destroy an enemy is to make him a friend.
Abraham Lincoln
Why don't you laugh? If I did not laugh I should die, and you need this medicine as much as I do.
Abraham Lincoln
The Government should create, issue, and circulate all the currency and credits needed to satisfy the spending power of the Government and the buying power of consumers.

Abraham Lincoln
My old father used to have a saying: If you make a bad bargain, hug it all the tighter.
Abraham Lincoln
Am I not destroying my enemies when I make friends of them?
Abraham Lincoln
Never change horses in midstream.

Abraham Lincoln
Why should there not be a patient confidence in the ultimate justice of the people? Is there any better or equal hope in the world?
Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
Have I not destroyed my enemy when I have made him into my friend?
Abraham Lincoln
I know the hole he went in at, but I can't tell you what hole he will come out of.
Abraham Lincoln
Every man is said to have his peculiar ambition. Whether it be true or not, I can say for one that I have no other so great as that of being truly esteemed of my fellow men, by rendering myself worthy of their esteem.
Abraham Lincoln
We here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain.
Abraham Lincoln
Nothing is more damaging to you than to do something that you believe is wrong.
Abraham Lincoln
Bad promises are better broken than kept.
Abraham Lincoln
I never had a policy I have just tried to do my very best each and every day.
Abraham Lincoln
Every head should be cultivated.
Abraham Lincoln
Gratefully accepting the proffered honor, [to inscribe a new legal work to him] I give the leave, begging only that the inscription may be in modest terms, not representing me as a man of great learning, or a very extraordinary one in any respect.
Abraham Lincoln
