More quotes by Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
You cannot help small men by tearing down big men.
Abraham Lincoln
Why don't I drink from a straw? Because straws are for suckers.
Abraham Lincoln
Let no young man choosing the law for a calling for a moment yield to the popular belief -- resolve to be honest at all events and if in your own judgment you cannot be an honest lawyer, resolve to be honest without being a lawyer.
Abraham Lincoln
I think I stand where that man stands.
Abraham Lincoln
My faith in the proposition that each man should do precisely as he pleases with all which is exclusively his own lies at the foundation of the sense of justice there is in me.
Abraham Lincoln
I do the very best I know how - the very best I can and I mean to keep on doing so until the end.
Abraham Lincoln
People are just as happy as they choose to be.
Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
