More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
Moral principle is a looser bond than pecuniary interest.
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
A fellow once came to me to ask for an appointment as a minister abroad. Finding he could not get that, he came down to some more modest position. Finally, he asked to be made a tide-waiter. When he saw he could not get that, he asked me for an old pair of trousers. It is sometimes well to be humble.
Abraham Lincoln
Be not deceived. Revolutions do not go backward.
Abraham Lincoln
The assertion that 'all men are created equal' was of no practical use in effecting our separation from Great Britain and it was placed in the Declaration not for that, but for future use.
Abraham Lincoln
That everyone may receive at least a moderate education appears to be an objective of vital importance.
Abraham Lincoln
Kindness is the only service that will stand the storm of life and not wash out. It will wear well and will be remembered long after the prism of politeness or the complexion of courtesy has faded away.
Abraham Lincoln
He can compress the most words into the smallest ideas of any man I ever met.
Abraham Lincoln
The fiery trials through which we pass will light us down in honor or dishonor to the latest generation.
Abraham Lincoln
There is an important sense in which government is distinctive from administration. One is perpetual, the other is temporary and changeable. A man may be loyal to his government and yet oppose the particular principles and methods of administration.
Abraham Lincoln
Get books, sit yourself down anywhere, and go to reading them yourself.
Abraham Lincoln
I have stepped out upon this platform that I may see you and that you may see me, and in the arrangement I have the best of the bargain.
Abraham Lincoln
A statesman is he who thinks in the future generations, and a politician is he who thinks in the upcoming elections.
Abraham Lincoln
During the Civil War, on hearing complaints that Gen. Ulysses S. Grant drank alcohol to excess Find out what Grant drinks and send a barrel of it to each of my other generals!
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
We shall sooner have the fowl by hatching the egg than by smashing it.
Abraham Lincoln
A jury too often has at least one member more ready to hang the panel than to hang the traitor.
Abraham Lincoln
When Judge Douglas says that whoever, or whatever community, wants slaves, they have a right to have them, he is perfectly logical if there is nothing wrong in the institution but if you admit that it is wrong, he cannot logically say that anybody has a right to do wrong.
Abraham Lincoln
I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true.
Abraham Lincoln
The only security a man can ever have is the ability to do a job uncommonly well.
Abraham Lincoln
