More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
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
You can have anything you want, if you want it badly enough.
Abraham Lincoln
And I am glad to know that there is a system of labor - where the laborer can strike if he wants to! I would to God that such a system prevailed all over the world.
Abraham Lincoln
The people when rightly and fully trusted will return the trust.
Abraham Lincoln
I have always thought that all men should be free but if any should be slaves, it should be first those who desire for themselves, and secondly those who desire it for others. Whenever I hear anyone arguing for slavery, I feel a strong impulse to see it tried on him personally.
Abraham Lincoln
Certainly there is no contending against the Will of God but still there is some difficulty in ascertaining, and applying it, to particular cases.
Abraham Lincoln
The only security a man can ever have is the ability to do a job uncommonly well.
Abraham Lincoln
Take all that you can of this book upon reason, and the balance on faith, and you will live and die a happier man. (When a skeptic expressed surprise to see him reading a Bible)
Abraham Lincoln
Some single mind must be master, else there will be no agreement in anything.
Abraham Lincoln
A man is about as happy as he makes up his mind to be.
Abraham Lincoln
The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present.
Abraham Lincoln
Honor is better than honors.
Abraham Lincoln
Tact is the ability to describe others as they see themselves.
Abraham Lincoln
We should avoid planting and cultivating too many thorns in the bosom of society.
Abraham Lincoln
Lincoln called laughter the joyous, beautiful, universal evergreen of life.
Abraham Lincoln
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
Be not deceived. Revolutions do not go backward.
Abraham Lincoln
His argument is as thin as the homeopathic soup that was made by oiling the shadow of a pigeon that had been starved to death.
Abraham Lincoln
A house divided against itself cannot stand. I believe this government cannot endure, permanently half slave and half free. I do not expect the Union to be dissolved — I do not expect the house to fall — but I do expect it will cease to be divided. It will become all one thing or all the other.
Abraham Lincoln
I was raised to farm work.
Abraham Lincoln
