When met with a problem I always ask myself what is the right thing to do and then I do it.
Abraham Lincoln

When the conduct of men is designed to be influenced, persuasion, kind, unassuming persuasion, should ever be adopted. It is an old and a true maxim, that 'a drop of honey catches more flies than a gallon of gall.'
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Nothing is stronger than gentleness.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
The will of God prevails.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I go for all sharing the privileges of the government who assist in bearing its burdens. Consequently I go for admitting all whites to the right of suffrage who pay taxes or bear arms, by no means excluding females.

There is a vague popular belief that lawyers are necessarily dishonest. I say vague, because when we consider to what extent confidence and honors are reposed in and conferred upon lawyers by the people, it appears improbable that their impression of dishonesty is very distinct and vivid. Yet the impression is common, almost universal.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Our government rests in public opinion. Whoever can change public opinion, can change the government, practically just so much.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Quarrel not at all. No man resolved to make the most of himself can spare time for personal contention.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
The Constitution is not a suicide pact.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I do not boast that God is on my side, I humbly pray that I am on God's side.
Abraham Lincoln

I am busily engaged in the study of the Bible. I believe it is God's word because it finds me where I am.
Abraham Lincoln

Nor must Uncle Sam's Web-feet be forgotten. At all the watery margins they have been present. Not only on the deep sea, the broadbay, and the rapid river, but also up the narrow muddy bayou, and wherever the ground was a little damp, they have been, and made their tracks.
