Image
You are young, and I am older You are hopeful, I am not- Enjoy life, ere it grow colder- Pluck the roses ere they rot.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
If you once forfeit the confidence of your fellow citizens, you can never regain their respect and esteem. It is true that you may fool all of the people some of the time you can even fool some of the people all of the time but you can't fool all of the people all of the time. -Speech at Clinton, Illinois, September 8, 1854.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I am now the most miserable man living. If what I feel were felt by the whole human race, there would not be one cheerful face left on earth.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Our progress in degeneracy appears to me to be pretty rapid.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Every blade of grass is a study and to produce two, where there was but one, is both a profit and a pleasure.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Let not him who is houseless pull down the house of another, but let him work diligently and build one for himself, thus by example assuring that his own shall be safe from violence when built.
Abraham Lincoln

Our popular government has often been called an experiment. Two points in it our people have already settled, the successful establishing and the successful administering of it. One still remains, its successful maintenance against a formidable internal attempt to overthrow it.
Abraham Lincoln

A man has not the time to spend half his life in quarrels. If any man ceases to attack me, I never remember the past against him.
Abraham Lincoln
Image

Abraham Lincoln
Image
A good, real, unrestrained, hearty laugh is a sort of glorified internal massage, performed rapidly and automatically. It manipulates and revitalizes corners and unexplored crannies of the system that are unresponsive to most other exercise methods. With the fearful strain that is on me night and day, if I did not laugh I should die.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
We think slavery a great moral wrong, and while we do not claim the right to touch it where it exists, we wish to treat it as a wrong in the territories, where our votes will reach it.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Were it not for my little jokes, I could not bear the burdens of this office.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Half finished work generally proves to be labor lost.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
You think slavery is right and ought to be extended while we think it is wrong and ought to be restricted. That I suppose is the rub. It certainly is the only substantial difference between us.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
The only assurance of our nation's safety is to lay our foundation in morality and religion.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Nor must Uncle Sam's Web-feet be forgotten. At all the watery margins they have been present. Not only on the deep sea, the broadbay, and the rapid river, but also up the narrow muddy bayou, and wherever the ground was a little damp, they have been, and made their tracks.

Shall we stop this bleeding?

The Union is much older than the Constitution. It was formed in fact, by the Articles of Association in 1774. It was matured and continued by the Declaration of Independence in 1776.
