More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
Towering genius...thirsts and burns for distinction and, if possible, it will have it, whether at the expense of emancipating slaves or enslaving freeman.
Abraham Lincoln
Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power.
Abraham Lincoln
Much is being said about peace and no man desires peace more ardently than I. Still I am yet unprepared to give up the Union fora peace which, so achieved, could not be of much duration.
Abraham Lincoln
I am nothing, truth is everything.
Abraham Lincoln
When met with a problem I always ask myself what is the right thing to do and then I do it.
Abraham Lincoln
The people when rightly and fully trusted will return the trust.
Abraham Lincoln
One company can serve some of your needs all of the time, or all of your needs some of the time, but never both.
Abraham Lincoln
Public opinion, though often formed upon a wrong basis, yet generally has a strong underlying sense of justice.
Abraham Lincoln
Such will be a great lesson of peace: teaching men that what they cannot take by an election, neither can they take it by war.
Abraham Lincoln
As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master. This expresses my idea of democracy.
Abraham Lincoln
IF you are going to fight, don't let them talk you into negotiating. But, if you are going to negotiate, don't let them talk you into fighting.
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
The occasion is piled high with difficulty. We must rise to the occasion.
Abraham Lincoln
I am in favor of a national bank...in favor of the internal improvements system and a high protective tariff.
Abraham Lincoln
You are young, and I am older You are hopeful, I am not- Enjoy life, ere it grow colder- Pluck the roses ere they rot.
Abraham Lincoln
I believe the declaration that ‘all men are created equal’ is the great fundamental principle upon which our free institutions rest.
Abraham Lincoln
Why should there not be a patient confidence in the ultimate justice of the people? Is there any better or equal hope in the world?
Abraham Lincoln
There are few things wholly evil or wholly good. Almost everything, especially of government policy, is an inseparable compound of the two, so that our best judgment of the preponderance between them is continually demanded.
Abraham Lincoln
There's no honorable way to kill, no gentle way to destroy. There is nothing good in war. Except its ending.
Abraham Lincoln
I have always thought that all men should be free but if any should be slaves, it should be first those who desire for themselves, and secondly those who desire it for others. Whenever I hear anyone arguing for slavery, I feel a strong impulse to see it tried on him personally.
Abraham Lincoln
