More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
Honor to the soldier and sailor everywhere, who bravely bears his country's cause. Honor, also, to the citizen who cares for his brother in the field and serves, as he best can, the same cause.
Abraham Lincoln
Nations like individuals are subjected to punishments and chastisements in this world.
Abraham Lincoln
If I gave McClellan all the men he asked for, they could not find room to lie down they'd have to sleep standing up.
Abraham Lincoln
I think that one of the causes of these repeated failures is that our best and greatest men have greatly underestimated the size of this question (slavery). They have constantly brought forward small cures for great sores-plasters too small to cover the wound. That is one reason that all settlements have proved so temporary-so evanescent.
Abraham Lincoln
Were it not for my little jokes, I could not bear the burdens of this office.
Abraham Lincoln
The health you enjoy is largely your choice
Abraham Lincoln
There are no accidents in my philosophy. Every effect must have its cause. The past is the cause of the present, and the present will be the cause of the future. All these are links in the endless chain stretching from the finite to the infinite.
Abraham Lincoln
Stand with anybody that stands right, stand with him while he is right and part with him when he goes wrong.
Abraham Lincoln
We trust, sir, that God is on our side. It is more important to know that we are on God's side.
Abraham Lincoln
Money possesses no value to the state other than that given to it by circulation.
Abraham Lincoln
With malice towards none with charity for all.
Abraham Lincoln
The better part of one's life consists of his friendships.
Abraham Lincoln
Few can be induced to labor exclusively for posterity and none will do it enthusiastically. Posterity has done nothing for us and theorize on it as we may, practically we shall do very little for it, unless we are made to think we are at the same time doing something for ourselves.
Abraham Lincoln
I think the authors of that notable instrument [the Declaration of Independence] intended to include all men.
Abraham Lincoln
All I have learned, I learned from books.
Abraham Lincoln
Tell the truth and you won't have so much to remember
Abraham Lincoln
I must keep some standard of principle fixed within myself.
Abraham Lincoln
To ease another’s heartache is to forget one’s own.
Abraham Lincoln
I don't know who my grandfather was I am much more concerned to know what his grandson will be.
Abraham Lincoln
Honest statesmanship is the wise employment of individual meanness for the public good.
Abraham Lincoln
