All true wisdom is found on T-shirts.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Surely He intends some great good to follow this mighty convulsion which no mortal could make, and no mortal could stay.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
If you once forfeit the confidence of your fellow citizens, you can never regain their respect and esteem. It is true that you may fool all of the people some of the time you can even fool some of the people all of the time but you can't fool all of the people all of the time. -Speech at Clinton, Illinois, September 8, 1854.

Abraham Lincoln

Nowhere in the world is presented a government of so much liberty and equality. To the humblest and poorest amongst us are held out the highest privileges and positions. The present moment finds me at the White House, yet there is as good a chance for your children as there was for my father's.

Better to remain silent and thought a fool, than to speak out and confirm that you didn't do the assigned readings before the strategic planning retreat.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I do not think I could myself, be brought to support a man for office, whom I knew to be an open enemy of, and scoffer at, religion. Leaving the higher matter of eternal consequences, between him and his Maker, I still do not think any man has the right thus to insult the feelings, and injure the morals, of the community in which he may live.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
With firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
No client ever had money enough to bribe my conscience or to stop its utterance against wrong, and oppression.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Cling to liberty and right battle fro them leed for them die for them, if need be and have confidence in God.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
The land, the earth God gave to man for his home ... should never be the possession of any man, corporation, (or) society ... any more than the air or water.
Abraham Lincoln

What constitutes the bulwark of our own liberty and independence?
Abraham Lincoln

To stand in silence when they should be protesting makes cowards of men.

With malice towards none with charity for all.
