More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
I don't s'pose anybody on earth likes gingerbread better'n I do-and gets less'n I do.
Abraham Lincoln
Human nature will not change. In any future great national trial, compared with the men of this, we shall have as weak and as strong, as silly and as wise, as bad and as good. Let us therefore study the incidents in this as philosophy to learn wisdom from and none of them as wrongs to be avenged.
Abraham Lincoln
Our eldest boy, Bob, has been away from us nearly a year at school, and will enter Harvard University this month. He promises verywell, considering we never controlled him much.
Abraham Lincoln
I can hardly believe that the South and North can live in peace, unless we can get rid of the negroes ... I believe that it would be better to export them all to some fertile country with a good climate, which they could have to themselves.
Abraham Lincoln
I don't believe in a law to prevent a man from getting rich it would do more harm than good. So while we do not propose any war upon capital, we do wish to allow the humblest man an equal chance to get rich with everybody else.
Abraham Lincoln
Lamon, that speech won't scour. It is a flat failure and the people are disappointed.
Abraham Lincoln
I would rather be a little nobody, then to be a evil somebody.
Abraham Lincoln
If the good people in their wisdom shall see fit to keep me in the background, I have been too familiar with disappointments to bevery much chagrined.
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
Nothing valuable can be lost by taking time.
Abraham Lincoln
The world is agreed that labor is the source from which human wants are mainly supplied. There is no dispute upon this point.
Abraham Lincoln
Teach hope to all, despair to none.
Abraham Lincoln
Never do anything for anyone who can just as well do it themself
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
Next to creating a life the finest thing a man can do is save one.
Abraham Lincoln
The probability that we may fail in the struggle ought not to deter us from the support of a cause we believe to be just.
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
The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.
Abraham Lincoln
When met with a problem I always ask myself what is the right thing to do and then I do it.
Abraham Lincoln
An allusion has been made to the Homestead Law. I think it worthy of consideration, and that the wild lands of the country should be distributed so that every man should have the means and opportunity of benefitting his condition.
Abraham Lincoln
