More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
Be with a leader when he is right, stay with him when he is still right, but, leave him when he is wrong.
Abraham Lincoln
I am approached with the most opposite opinions and advice, and that by religious men, who are equally certain that they represent the Divine will. I am sure that either the one or the other class is mistaken in that belief, and perhaps in some respects both.
Abraham Lincoln
I don't know who my grandfather was I am much more concerned to know what his grandson will be.
Abraham Lincoln
We have been the recipients of the choicest bounties of Heaven we have been preserved these many years in peace and prosperity we have grown in numbers, wealth, and power as no other nation has ever grown.
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
With Malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds.
Abraham Lincoln
If I have one vice and I can call it nothing else it is not able to say 'no'.
Abraham Lincoln
My politics are short and sweet, like the old woman's dance.
Abraham Lincoln
Discipline is choosing between what you want now, and what you want most.
Abraham Lincoln
What I want is to get done what the people desire to have done, and the question for me is how to find that out exactly.
Abraham Lincoln
You must think I am a high-priced man.... Fifteen dollars is enough for the job. I send you a receipt for fifteen dollars, and return to you a ten-dollar bill.
Abraham Lincoln
The money power preys on the nation in times of peace, and conspires against it in times of adversity. It is more despotic than monarchy, more insolent than autocracy, more selfish than bureaucracy. It denounces, as public enemies, all who question its methods or throw light upon its crimes.
Abraham Lincoln
I would save the Union. I would save it the shortest way under the Constitution. The sooner the national authority can be restored the nearer the Union will be 'the Union as it was'.
Abraham Lincoln
Received as I am by the members of a legislature the majority of whom do not agree with me in political sentiments, I trust that I may have their assistance in piloting the ship of state through this voyage, surrounded by perils as it is for if it should suffer wreck now, there will be no pilot ever needed for another voyage.
Abraham Lincoln
The worst thing you can do for those you love is the things they could and should do themselves.
Abraham Lincoln
I never trusted a man who never smoked or drank.
Abraham Lincoln
It is the man who does not want to express an opinion whose opinion I want.
Abraham Lincoln
Politics, as a trade, finds most and leaves nearly all dishonest.
Abraham Lincoln
An allusion has been made to the Homestead Law. I think it worthy of consideration, and that the wild lands of the country should be distributed so that every man should have the means and opportunity of benefitting his condition.
Abraham Lincoln
The legalized liquor business is the tragedy of our civilization. Alcohol is the greatest and most blighting curse of our modern civilization. The liquor seller is simply and only a privileged malefactor - a criminal.
