More quotes by Abraham Lincoln

We must settle this question now -- whether in a free government the minority have the right to break it up whenever they choose. If we fail, it will go far to prove the incapability of the people to govern themselves.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I laugh because I must not cry, that is all, that is all.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
The Autocrat of all the Russias will resign his crown, and proclaim his subjects free republicans sooner than will our American masters voluntarily give up their slaves.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I have not permitted myself, gentlemen, to conclude that I am the best man in the country but I am reminded, in this connection, of a story of an old Dutch farmer, who remarked to a companion once that it was not best to swap horses when crossing streams.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
One generation passeth away and another generation cometh, but the earth abideth forever.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
The ant, who has toiled and dragged a crumb to his nest, will furiously defend the fruit of his labor, against whatever robber assails him. So plain, that the most dumb and stupid slave that ever toiled for a master, does constantly know that he is wronged.

In law it is good policy to never plead what you need not, lest you oblige yourself to prove what you can not.
Abraham Lincoln

The love of property and consciousness of right and wrong have conflicting places in our organization, which often makes a man's course seem crooked, his conduct a riddle.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
One's only security in life comes from doing something uncommonly well.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
If ever I feel the soul within me elevate and expand to those dimensions, not wholly unworthy of its almighty Architect, it is when I contemplate the cause of my country, deserted by all the world beside, and I standing up boldly, alone, hurling defiance at her victorious oppressors.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I ... ran for Legislature [in 1832] ... and was beaten-the only time I have been beaten by the people.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
It is a sin to be silent when it is your duty to protest.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
The master not only governs the slave without his consent, but he governs him by a set of rules altogether different from those which he prescribes for himself. Allow ALL the governed an equal voice in the government, and that, and that only, is self-government.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
The highest art is always the most religious, and the greatest artist is always a devout person.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Be excellent and party on dudes.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
What I do say is, that no man is good enough to govern another man, without that other's consent. I say this is the leading principle - the sheet anchor of American republicanism.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Allow me to assure you, that suspicion and jealousy never did help any man in any situation.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I like to see a man proud of the place in which he lives. I like to see a man live so that his place will be proud of him.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I was raised to farm work.

Capital has its rights, which are as worthy of protection as any other right.
