Did Stanton say I was a damned fool? Then I dare say I must be one, for Stanton is generally right and he always says what he means.

More quotes by 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
I know the hole he went in at, but I can't tell you what hole he will come out of.
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
It is a good face. I am glad this war is over at last.
Abraham Lincoln
In the first place, I insist that our fathers did not make this nation half slave and half free, or part slave and part free. I insist that they found the institution of slavery existing here. They did not make it so, but they left it so because they knew of no way to get rid of it at that time.
Abraham Lincoln
So you're the little woman who wrote the book that made this great war!
Abraham Lincoln
While I have often said that all men out to be free, yet I would allow those colored persons to be slaves who want to be and next to them those white persons who argue in favor of making other people slaves. I am in favor of giving an opportunity to such white men to try it on for themselves.
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
Nothing is more damaging to you than to do something that you believe is wrong.
Abraham Lincoln
Slavery is wrong. If Slavery is right, all words, acts, laws, and Constitutions against it, are themselves wrong, and should be silenced, and swept away.
Abraham Lincoln
It is your business to rise up and preserve the Union and liberty, for yourselves, and not for me. I desire they shall be constitutionally preserved.
Abraham Lincoln
The foregoing history may not be precisely accurate in every particular but I am sure it is sufficiently so, for all the uses I shall attempt to make of it, and in it, we have before us, the chief material enabling us to correctly judge whether the repeal of the Missouri Compromise is right or wrong.
Abraham Lincoln
To say a sheep has 5 legs doesn't make it so.
Abraham Lincoln
If any man tells you he loves America, yet hates labor, he is a liar. If any man tells you he trusts America, yet fears labor, he is a fool.
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
He will have to learn, I know, that all people are not just- that all men and women are not true. Teach him that for every scoundrel there is a hero that for every enemy there is a friend. Let him learn early that the bullies are the easiest people to lick.
Abraham Lincoln
My policy is to have no policy.
Abraham Lincoln
What has ever threatened our liberty and prosperity save and except this institution of Slavery?
Abraham Lincoln
If at any time all labour should cease, and all existing provisions be equally divided among the people, at the end of a single year there could scarcely be one human being left alive--all would have perished by want of subsistence.
Abraham Lincoln
Things may come to those who wait, but only the things left by those who hustle.
Abraham Lincoln
