Beware of rashness, but with energy and sleepless vigilance go forward and give us victories.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
We must remember that the people of all the States are entitled to all the privileges and immunities of the citizen of the several States. We should bear this in mind, and act in such a way as to say nothing insulting or irritating. I would inculcate this idea, so that we may not, like Pharisees, set ourselves up to be better than other people.

The Bible says somewhere that we are desperately selfish. I think we would have discovered that fact without the Bible.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
We must settle this question now -- whether in a free government the minority have the right to break it up whenever they choose. If we fail, it will go far to prove the incapability of the people to govern themselves.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
This human struggle and scramble for office, for a way to live without work, will finally test the strength of our institutions.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
With high hope for the future, no prediction is ventured.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
The Government should create, issue, and circulate all the currency and credits needed to satisfy the spending power of the Government and the buying power of consumers. By the adoption of these principles, the taxpayers will be saved immense sums of interest. Money will cease to be master and become the servant of humanity.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
In the early days of the world, the Almighty said to the first of our race In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread and since then, if we except the light and the air of heaven, no good thing has been, or can be enjoyed by us, without having first cost labour.
