More quotes by Abraham Lincoln

Image
Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Must I shoot a simple-minded soldier boy who deserts, while I must not touch a hair of the wily agitator who induces him to desert? I think that in such a cse to silence the agitator and save the boy is not only constitutional but withal a great mercy.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
A statesman is he who thinks in the future generations, and a politician is he who thinks in the upcoming elections.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
All the armies of Europe combined could not by force make a track upon the Blue Ridge, or take a drink from the Ohio. If we are to be destroyed, we must do it ourselves.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
My father taught me to work he did not teach me to love it.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I remember my mother's prayers and they have always followed me. They have clung to me all my life.

The best way to get rid of your enemies is to make them your friends.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
We must free the slaves or be ourselves subdued.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
In this troublesome world, we are never quite satisfied. When you were here, I thought you hindered me some in attending to business but now, having nothing but business---no variety---it has grown exceedingly tasteless to me. I hate to sit down and direct documents, and I hate to stay in this old room by myself.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Lamon, that speech won't scour. It is a flat failure and the people are disappointed.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
If you love something, set it free.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
God bless the Methodist Church - bless all the churches - and blessed be God, Who, in this our great trial, giveth us the churches.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
My father taught me to work, but not to love it. I never did like to work, and I don't deny it. I'd rather read, tell stories, crack jokes, talk, laugh -- anything but work.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Were it not for my little jokes, I could not bear the burdens of this office.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
And then, the negro being doomed, and damned, and forgotten, to everlasting bondage, is the white man quite certain that the tyrant demon will not turn upon him too?
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Always let your subordinates know that the honor will be all theirs if they succeed and the blame will be yours if they fail.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
If I were two-faced, would I be wearing this one?
Abraham Lincoln
Image
We shall meanly lose or nobly save the last hope of earth.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
If ever this free people, if this Government itself is ever utterly demoralized, it will come from this incessant human wriggle and struggle for office, which is but a way to live without work.
Abraham Lincoln
