More quotes by Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
Honor is better than honors.
Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
Many free countries have lost their liberty, and ours may lose hers but, if she shall, be it my proudest plume, not that I was the last to desert, but that I never deserted her.
Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
The very spot where grew the bread that formed my bones, I see. How strange, old field, on thee to tread, and feel I'm part of thee.
Abraham Lincoln
