Let us strive to deserve, as far as mortals may, the continued care of Divine Providence, trusting that, in future national emergencies, He will not fail to provide us the instruments of safety and security.
Abraham Lincoln
Our republican system was meant for a homogeneous people. As long as blacks continue to live with the whites they constitute a threat to the national life. Family life may also collapse and the increase of mixed breed bastards may some day challenge the supremacy of the white man.
Abraham Lincoln
This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it.
Abraham Lincoln
When I hear a man preach, I like to see him act as if he were fighting bees.
Abraham Lincoln
Government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the Earth.
Abraham Lincoln
I walk slowly, but never backwards.
Abraham Lincoln
Do you think we choose the times into which we are born? Or do we fit the times we are born into?
Abraham Lincoln
If you have never failed you have never lived.
Abraham Lincoln
