More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
Democracy is government of, by and for the people.
Abraham Lincoln
Commitment is what transforms a promise into a reality... Commitment is the stuff character is made of the power to change the face of things. It is the daily triumph of integrity over skepticism.
Abraham Lincoln
The Government should create, issue, and circulate all the currency and credits needed to satisfy the spending power of the Government and the buying power of consumers. By the adoption of these principles, the taxpayers will be saved immense sums of interest. Money will cease to be master and become the servant of humanity.
Abraham Lincoln
I am for the people of the whole nation doing just as they please in all matters which concern the whole nation for that of each part doing just as they choose in all matters which concern no other part and for each individual doing just as he chooses in all matters which concern nobody else.
Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
Gratefully accepting the proffered honor, [to inscribe a new legal work to him] I give the leave, begging only that the inscription may be in modest terms, not representing me as a man of great learning, or a very extraordinary one in any respect.
Abraham Lincoln
The best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time.
Abraham Lincoln
Behind the cloud the sun is still shining.
Abraham Lincoln
As to your kind wishes for myself, allow me to say I can not enter the ring on the money basis--first, because, in the main, it iswrong and secondly, I have not, and can not get, the money. I say, in the main, the use of money is wrong but for certain objects, in a political contest, the use of some, is both right, and indispensable.
Abraham Lincoln
Trusting in Him, who can go with me, and remain with you and be every where for good, let us confidently hope that all will yet be well. To His care commending you, as I hope in your prayers you will commend me, I bid you an affectionate farewell.
Abraham Lincoln
And then, there will be some black men who can remember that, with silent tongue, and clenched teeth, and steady eye, and well-poised bayonnet, they have helped mankind on to this great consummation.
Abraham Lincoln
I can only say that I have acted upon my best convictions, without selfishness or malice, and that by the help of God I shall continue to do so.
Abraham Lincoln
I think slavery is wrong, morally, and politically. I desire that it should be no further spread in these United States, and I should not object if it should gradually terminate in the whole Union.
Abraham Lincoln
With the Catching Ends the Pleasure of the Chase.
Abraham Lincoln
