Abraham Lincoln

Your rights end where my nose begins.
Abraham Lincoln
I was losing interest in politics, when the repeal of the Missouri Compromise aroused me again. What I have done since then is pretty well known.
Abraham Lincoln
Why don't I drink from a straw? Because straws are for suckers.
Abraham Lincoln
Military necessity does not admit of cruelty - that is, the infliction of suffering for the sake of suffering or for revenge, . . . nor of torture to extort confessions.
Abraham Lincoln
Intoxicated with unbroken success, we have become too self sufficient to feel the necessity of redeeming and preserving grace, too proud to pray to the God that made us.
Abraham Lincoln
I wish all men to be free. I wish the material prosperity of the already free which I feel sure the extinction of slavery would bring.
Abraham Lincoln
Get books, sit yourself down anywhere, and go to reading them yourself.
Abraham Lincoln
