More quotes by 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
God bless the soldiers and seamen, with all their brave commanders.
Abraham Lincoln
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
In the early days of the world, the Almighty said to the first of our race In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread and since then, if we except the light and the air of heaven, no good thing has been, or can be enjoyed by us, without having first cost labour.
Abraham Lincoln
The best time to stop a fight is before it starts. The best vitamin for developing friends is B1. The best way to destroy an enemy in to make him a friend.
Abraham Lincoln
Every man's happiness is his own responsibility.
Abraham Lincoln
Towering genius disdains a beaten path. It seeks regions hitherto unexplored.
Abraham Lincoln
Both read the same Bible and pray to the same God, and each invokes His aid against the other.
Abraham Lincoln
We all declare for liberty, but in using the same word we do not all mean the same thing.
Abraham Lincoln
Do the people of the South really entertain fears that a Republican administration would, directly, or indirectly, interfere with their slaves, or with them, about their slaves? If they do, I wish to assure you, as once a friend, and still, I hope, not an enemy, that there is no cause for such fears.
Abraham Lincoln
The Union is much older than the Constitution. It was formed in fact, by the Articles of Association in 1774. It was matured and continued by the Declaration of Independence in 1776.
Abraham Lincoln
I could write shorter sermons but when I get started I'm too lazy to stop
Abraham Lincoln
He who sees cruelty and does nothing about it is himself cruel.
Abraham Lincoln
Legislation and adjudication must follow, and conform to, the progress of society.
Abraham Lincoln
I don't s'pose anybody on earth likes gingerbread better'n I do-and gets less'n I do.
Abraham Lincoln
Tis better people think you a fool, then open your mouth and erase all doubt.
Abraham Lincoln
Being President is like the man who was tarred and feathered and ridden out of town on a rail... A man in the crowd asked how he liked it, and his reply was that if it wasn't for the honor of the thing, he would much rather walk.
Abraham Lincoln
The working men are the basis of all governments, for the plain reason that they are the most numerous.
Abraham Lincoln
Let us hopethat by the best cultivation of the physical world, beneath and around us and the intellectual and moral world within us, we shall secure an individual, social and political prosperity and happiness, whose course shall be onward and upward, and which, while the earth endures, shall not pass away.
Abraham Lincoln
I say 'try' if we never try, we shall never succeed.
Abraham Lincoln
