More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
Must I shoot a simple-minded soldier boy who deserts, while I must not touch a hair of the wily agitator who induces him to desert? I think that in such a cse to silence the agitator and save the boy is not only constitutional but withal a great mercy.
Abraham Lincoln
The damnest scoundrel that ever lived, but in the infinite mercy of Providence... also the damnest fool.
Abraham Lincoln
The worst thing you can do for anyone you care about is anything that they can do on their own.
Abraham Lincoln
It has been said of the world's history hitherto that might makes right. It is for us and for our time to reverse the maxim, and to say that right makes might.
Abraham Lincoln
Congressmen who willfully take action during wartime that damages morale and undermine the military are saboteurs and should be arrested, exiled, or hung
Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
The people will save their government, if the government itself will allow them.
Abraham Lincoln
I think that one of the causes of these repeated failures is that our best and greatest men have greatly underestimated the size of this question (slavery). They have constantly brought forward small cures for great sores-plasters too small to cover the wound. That is one reason that all settlements have proved so temporary-so evanescent.
Abraham Lincoln
It is easiest to be all things to all men, but it is not honest. Self-respect must be sacrificed every hour in the day.
Abraham Lincoln
Always let your subordinates know that the honor will be all theirs if they succeed and the blame will be yours if they fail.
Abraham Lincoln
I have no wealthy or popular relations to recommend me.
Abraham Lincoln
The loss of enemies does not compensate for the loss of friends.
Abraham Lincoln
Both read the same Bible and pray to the same God, and each invokes His aid against the other.
Abraham Lincoln
