More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
Always remember: Life is for enjoying.
Abraham Lincoln
And whereas it is the duty of nations as well as of men, to own their dependence upon the overruling power of God ... and to recognize the sublime truth, announced in the Holy Scriptures and proven by all history, that those nations only are blessed whose God is the Lord.
Abraham Lincoln
The assertion that 'all men are created equal' was of no practical use in effecting our separation from Great Britain and it was placed in the Declaration not for that, but for future use.
Abraham Lincoln
Submitted to the Sec. of War. On principle I dislike an oath which requires a man to swear he has not done wrong. It rejects the Christian principle of forgiveness on terms of repentance. I think it is enough if the man does no wrong hereafter.
Abraham Lincoln
It's bad. It's damned bad.
Abraham Lincoln
A drop of honey catches more flies than a gallon of gall. So with men. If you would win a man to your cause, first convince him that you are his sincere friend. Therein is a drop of honey which catches his heart, which, say what he will, is the highroad to his reason.
Abraham Lincoln
I believe it is an established maxim in morals that he who makes an assertion without knowing whether it is true or false, is guilty of falsehood and the accidental truth of the assertion, does not justify or excuse him.
Abraham Lincoln
Our progress in degeneracy appears to me to be pretty rapid.
Abraham Lincoln
Everybody likes a compliment.
Abraham Lincoln
We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory will swell when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.
Abraham Lincoln
Don't be fooled. I kept all my workout clothes in that top hat.
Abraham Lincoln
The one victory we can ever call complete will be that one which proclaims that there is not one slave or one drunkard on the face of God's green earth.
Abraham Lincoln
The slave-breeders and slave-traders, are a small, odious and detested class, among you and yet in politics, they dictate the course of all of you, and are as completely your masters, as you are the master of your own negroes.
Abraham Lincoln
I am not in favor of making voters or jurors of Negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office.
Abraham Lincoln
I have just read your dispatch about sore-tongued and fatigued horses, Will you pardon me for asking what the horses of your army have done since the Battle of Antietam that fatigues anything?
Abraham Lincoln
I have never had a feeling politically that did not spring from the sentiments embodied in the Declaration of Independence.
Abraham Lincoln
We here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain.
Abraham Lincoln
If this country is ever demoralized, it will come from trying to live without work.
Abraham Lincoln
Extemporaneous speaking should be practised and cultivated. It is the lawyer's avenue to the public.
Abraham Lincoln
To read in the Bible, as the word of God himself, that In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, [] and to preach there-from that, In the sweat of other mans faces shalt thou eat bread, to my mind can scarcely be reconciled with honest sincerity.
