Abraham Lincoln
The people themselves, and not their servants, can safely reverse their own deliberate decisions.
Abraham Lincoln
As an individual who undertakes to live by borrowing, soon finds his original means devoured by interest, and next no one left to borrow from - so must it be with a government.
Abraham Lincoln
Our attitude is more honest and more consistent than our words.
Abraham Lincoln
I had been told I was on the road to hell, but I had no idea it was just a mile down the road with a dome on it.
Abraham Lincoln
I am satisfied that when the Almighty wants me to do or not do any particular thing, He finds a way of letting me know it
