More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
In your hands, my dissatisfied fellow-countrymen, and not in mine, is the momentous issue of civil war.
Abraham Lincoln
You cannot help small men by tearing down big men.
Abraham Lincoln
Few can be induced to labor exclusively for posterity and none will do it enthusiastically. Posterity has done nothing for us and theorize on it as we may, practically we shall do very little for it, unless we are made to think we are at the same time doing something for ourselves.
Abraham Lincoln
None seemed to think the injury arose from the use of a bad thing but from the abuse of a very good thing
Abraham Lincoln
The President to-night has a dream: - He was in a party of plain people, and, as it became known who he was, they began to comment on his appearance. One of them said: - He is a very common-looking man. The President replied: - The Lord prefers common-looking people. That is the reason he makes so many of them.
Abraham Lincoln
Discourage litigation. Persuade your neighbors to compromise whenever you can. As a peacemaker the lawyer has superior opportunity of being a good man. There will still be business enough.
Abraham Lincoln
Relying, as I do, upon the Almighty Power, and encouraged as I am by these resolutions which you have just read, with the support which I receive from Christian men, I shall not hesitate to use all the means at my control to secure the termination of this rebellion, and will hope for success.
Abraham Lincoln
Submitted to the Sec. of War. On principle I dislike an oath which requires a man to swear he has not done wrong. It rejects the Christian principle of forgiveness on terms of repentance. I think it is enough if the man does no wrong hereafter.
Abraham Lincoln
Human action can be modified to some extent, but human nature can not be changed
Abraham Lincoln
Military glory-that attractive rainbow, that rises in showers of blood-that serpent's eye, that charms to destroy.
Abraham Lincoln
The press has no better friend than I am, no one who is more ready to acknowledge . . . its tremendous power for both good and evil.
Abraham Lincoln
I am glad to see that a system of labor prevails under which laborers can strike when they want to.
Abraham Lincoln
I do not boast that God is on my side, I humbly pray that I am on God's side.
Abraham Lincoln
When I do good, I feel good. When I do bad, I feel bad. That's my religion.
Abraham Lincoln
We cannot escape history.
Abraham Lincoln
I shall always think of myself first and foremost... as a hunter.
Abraham Lincoln
Better give your path to a dog than be bitten by him in contesting for the right. Even killing the dog would not cure the bite
Abraham Lincoln
in times like the present, men should utter nothing for which they would not willingly be responsible through time and eternity.
Abraham Lincoln
The loss of enemies does not compensate for the loss of friends.
Abraham Lincoln
All true wisdom is found on T-shirts.
