More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
He has a right to criticize, who has a heart to help.
Abraham Lincoln
Lamon, that speech won't scour. It is a flat failure and the people are disappointed.
Abraham Lincoln
I could not sleep when I got on such a hunt for an idea until I had caught it ...This was a kind of passion with me, and it has stuck by me for I am never easy now, when I am handling a thought, till I have bounded it north, and bounded it south, and bounded it east, and bounded it west.
Abraham Lincoln
I turn, then, and look to the American people and to that God who has never forsaken them.
Abraham Lincoln
And I am glad to know that there is a system of labor - where the laborer can strike if he wants to! I would to God that such a system prevailed all over the world.
Abraham Lincoln
I think that if anything can be proved by natural theology, it is that slavery is morally wrong. God gave man a mouth to receive bread, hands to feed it, and his hand has a right to carry bread to his mouth without controversy.
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. Never let your correspondence fall behind. Whatever piece of business you have in hand, before stopping, do all the labor pertaining to it which can then be done.
Abraham Lincoln
I am struggling to maintain the government, not to overthrow it. I am struggling especially to prevent others from overthrowing it.
Abraham Lincoln
Oh, that [his Thanksgiving Message] is some of Seward's nonsense, and it pleases the fools.
Abraham Lincoln
When you make it to the top, turn and reach down for the person behind you.
Abraham Lincoln
Let us do nothing through passion and ill temper.
Abraham Lincoln
There is no greater injustice than to wring your profits from the sweat of another man's brow.
Abraham Lincoln
Anybody will do for you, but not for me.
Abraham Lincoln
Democracy is government of, by and for the people.
Abraham Lincoln
A woman is the only thing I am afraid of that I know will not hurt me.
Abraham Lincoln
I am not in favor of making voters or jurors of Negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office.
Abraham Lincoln
Adversity does not make us frail it only shows us how frail we are.
Abraham Lincoln
Government, possessing the power to create and issue currency and credit as money and enjoying the right to withdraw both currency and credit from circulation by taxation and otherwise, need not and should not borrow capital at interest as a means of financing government work and public enterprises.
Abraham Lincoln
The demon of intemperance ever seems to have delighted in sucking the blood of genius and of generosity. What one of us but can call to mind some relative more promising in youth than all his fellows, who has fallen a sacrifice to his rapacity?
Abraham Lincoln
The human mind is impelled to action, or held in rest by some power, over which the mind itself has no control.
Abraham Lincoln
