Always remember: Life is for enjoying.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Surely God would not have created such a being as man, with an ability to grasp the infinite, to exist only for a day! No, no, man was made for immortality.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I never did ask more, nor ever was willing to accept less, than for all the States, and the people thereof, to take and hold their places, and their rights, in the Union, under the Constitution of the United States. For this alone have I felt authorized to struggle and I seek neither more nor less now.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
If both factions, or neither, shall abuse you, you will probably be about right. Beware of being assailed by one and praised by the other.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I am a little uneasy about the abolishment of slavery in this District of Columbia.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I am not concerned that you have fallen -- I am concerned that you arise.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
[Uniting workers should not] lead to a war upon property, or the owners of property.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
No state, upon its own mere motion, can lawfully get out of the Union. Plainly, the central idea of secession, is the essence of anarchy.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
We must settle this question now -- whether in a free government the minority have the right to break it up whenever they choose. If we fail, it will go far to prove the incapability of the people to govern themselves.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it. Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing government, they can exercise their constitutional right of amending it, or exercise their revolutionary right to overthrow it.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
One generation passeth away and another generation cometh, but the earth abideth forever.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
My politics are short and sweet, like the old woman's dance.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
The time comes upon every public man when it is best for him to keep his lips closed.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Let no feeling of discouragement prey upon you, and in the end you are sure to succeed.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
God can not be for, and against the same thing at the same time.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise with the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew and act anew.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Do not destroy that immortal emblem of humanity, the Declaration of Independence.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
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
Image
We must remember that the people of all the States are entitled to all the privileges and immunities of the citizen of the several States. We should bear this in mind, and act in such a way as to say nothing insulting or irritating. I would inculcate this idea, so that we may not, like Pharisees, set ourselves up to be better than other people.
