More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.
Abraham Lincoln
Every one desires to live long, but no one would be old.
Abraham Lincoln
Liquor may have its defenders, but it has no defense.
Abraham Lincoln
My father taught me to work, but not to love it. I never did like to work, and I don't deny it. I'd rather read, tell stories, crack jokes, talk, laugh -- anything but work.
Abraham Lincoln
Let us do nothing through passion and ill temper.
Abraham Lincoln
Peace will come soon to stay, and so come as to be worth keeping in all future time. It will then have proved that among free men there can be no successful appeal from the ballot to the bullet, and that they who take such appeal are sure their cases and pay the costs.
Abraham Lincoln
As our case is new, so we must think anew, and act anew.
Abraham Lincoln
I therefore consider that in view of the Constitution and the laws, the Union is unbroken and to the extent of my ability I shall take care, as the Constitution itself expressly enjoins upon me, that the laws of the Union be faithfully executed in all the States.
Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
We hoped for a happy termination of this terrible war long before this but God knows best, and has ruled otherwise. We shall yet acknowledge His wisdom and our own error therein.
Abraham Lincoln
I shall always think of myself first and foremost... as a hunter.
Abraham Lincoln
Negroes, like other people, act upon motives. Why should they do anything for us, if we will do nothing for them? If they stake their lives for us, they must be prompted by the strongest motive, even the promise of freedom. And the promise being made, must be kept.
Abraham Lincoln
What are you gonna do for a face when the baboon wants his ass back?
Abraham Lincoln
I am much indebted to the good Christian people of the country for their constant prayers and consolations and to no one of them, more than to yourself.
Abraham Lincoln
The one victory we can ever call complete will be that one which proclaims that there is not one slave or one drunkard on the face of God's green earth.
Abraham Lincoln
The leading rule for the lawyer, as for the man of every other calling, is diligence. Leave nothing for to-morrow which can be done to-day.
Abraham Lincoln
Now if you should hear any one say that Lincoln don't [sic] want to go to Congress, I wish you as a personal friend of mine, wouldtell him that you have reason to believe he is mistaken.
Abraham Lincoln
What is conservatism? Is it not the adherence to the old and tried against the new and untried?
Abraham Lincoln
Don't pray that God's on our side, pray that we're on his side.
Abraham Lincoln
When I go hear a man speak, I like to hear him speak like he's fighting a swarm of bees.
Abraham Lincoln
