More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
Am I not destroying my enemies when I make friends of them?
Abraham Lincoln
All the armies of Europe, Asia and Africa combined, with all the treasure of the earth (our own excepted) in their military chest with a Buonaparte for a commander, could not by force, take a drink from the Ohio, or make a track on the Blue Ridge, in a trial of a thousand years.
Abraham Lincoln
There is another old poet whose name I do not now remember who said, 'Truth is the daughter of Time.'
Abraham Lincoln
When met with a problem I always ask myself what is the right thing to do and then I do it.
Abraham Lincoln
My great concern is not whether you have failed, but whether you are content with your failure.
Abraham Lincoln
I hold that if the Almighty had ever made a set of men that should do all the eating and none of the work, he would have made them with mouths only and no hands, and if he had ever made another class that he intended should do all the work and none of the eating, he would have made them without mouths and with all hands.
Abraham Lincoln
He will have to learn, I know, that all people are not just- that all men and women are not true. Teach him that for every scoundrel there is a hero that for every enemy there is a friend. Let him learn early that the bullies are the easiest people to lick.
Abraham Lincoln
When I have a particular case in hand, I have that motive and feel an interest in the case, feel an interest in ferreting out the questions to the bottom, love to dig up the question by the roots and hold it up and dry it before the fires of the mind.
Abraham Lincoln
Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe.
Abraham Lincoln
With firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right.
Abraham Lincoln
Whatever spiteful fools may say, Each jealous ranting yelper, No woman ever went astray, Without a man to help her
Abraham Lincoln
We believe that the spreading out and perpetuity of the institution of slavery impairs the general welfare. We believe - nay, we know, that that is the only thing that has ever threatened the perpetuity of the Union itself.
Abraham Lincoln
Laughter can be used to sooth the mind and get rid of those awful thoughts.
Abraham Lincoln
Nothing is more damaging to you than to do something that you believe is wrong.
Abraham Lincoln
What has ever threatened our liberty and prosperity save and except this institution of Slavery?
Abraham Lincoln
The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here so nobly advanced.
Abraham Lincoln
As to the whiskers, having never worn any, do you not think people would call it a piece of silly affectation if I were to begin it now?
Abraham Lincoln
I believe the Bible is the best gift God ever gave to man. All the good from the Savior of the world is communicated to us through that book. On a personal spiritual note, Lincoln confessed, I have been driven many times to my knees with the overwhelming conviction, that I had nowhere else to go.
Abraham Lincoln
We have all heard of Young America. He is the most current youth of the age. Some think him conceited, and arrogant but has he not reason to entertain a rather extensive opinion of himself? Is he not the inventor and owner of the present, and sole hope of the future?
Abraham Lincoln
In the first place, I insist that our fathers did not make this nation half slave and half free, or part slave and part free. I insist that they found the institution of slavery existing here. They did not make it so, but they left it so because they knew of no way to get rid of it at that time.
Abraham Lincoln
