Abraham Lincoln
As to the whiskers, having never worn any, do you not think people would call it a piece of silly affectation if I were to begin it now?
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
I want it said of me by those who knew me best, that I always plucked a thistle and planted a flower where I thought a flower would grow.
Abraham Lincoln
Am I not destroying my enemies when I make friends of them?
Abraham Lincoln
If elected I shall be thankful if not, it will be all the same.
Abraham Lincoln
When met with a problem I always ask myself what is the right thing to do and then I do it.
Abraham Lincoln
The Presidency, even to the most experienced politicians, is no bed of roses and [Zachary] Taylor like others, found thorns within it. No human being can fill that station and escape censure.
Abraham Lincoln
Teach hope to all, despair to none.
Abraham Lincoln
