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
Image
And you are entirely free from head-ache? That is good -- good -- considering it is the first spring you have been free from it since we were acquainted. I am afraid you will get so well, and fat, and young, as to be wanting to marry again.
Abraham Lincoln

I fear you do not fully comprehend the danger of abridging the liberties of the people. Nothing but the sternest necessity can ever justify it. A government had better go to the extreme of toleration, than to do aught that could be construed into an interference with, or to jeopardize in any degree, the common rights of its citizens.
Abraham Lincoln

President Lincoln was once criticized for his attitude toward his enemies. Why do you try to make friends of them? asked an associate. You should try to destroy them. Am I not destroying my enemies, Lincoln gently replied, when I make them my friends?
Abraham Lincoln
Image
No country can sustain, in idleness, more than a small percentage of its numbers. The great majority must labor at something productive.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
As labor is the common burden of our race, so the effort of some to shift their share of the burden onto the shoulders of others is the great durable curse of the race.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I believe the declaration that ‘all men are created equal’ is the great fundamental principle upon which our free institutions rest.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
You know I dislike slavery and you fully admit the abstract wrong of it.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
The people will save their government, if the government itself will allow them.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot establish sound security on borrowed money. You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than you earn.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
In any future great national trial, compared with the men of this, we shall have as weak, and as strong as silly and as wise asbad and good.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
The highest art is always the most religious, and the greatest artist is always a devout person.
