Truth is generally the best vindication against slander
Abraham Lincoln
The political horizon looks dark and lowering but the people, under Providence, will set all right.
Abraham Lincoln
Peace will come soon to stay, and so come as to be worth keeping in all future time. It will then have proved that among free men there can be no successful appeal from the ballot to the bullet, and that they who take such appeal are sure their cases and pay the costs.
Abraham Lincoln
If any should be slaves, it should be first those who desire it for themselves, and secondly, those who desire it for others
Abraham Lincoln
Nations do not die from invasion they die from internal rottenness.
Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln

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
The Union is much older than the Constitution. It was formed in fact, by the Articles of Association in 1774. It was matured and continued by the Declaration of Independence in 1776.
Abraham Lincoln
We must free the slaves or be ourselves subdued.
Abraham Lincoln
In all that people can do for themselves, government ought not to interfere.
Abraham Lincoln
We, on our side, are praying to Him to give us victory, because we believe we are right but those on the other side pray to Him, look for victory, believing they are right. What must He think of us?
Abraham Lincoln
His argument is as thin as the homeopathic soup that was made by oiling the shadow of a pigeon that had been starved to death.
Abraham Lincoln
When you have got an elephant by the hind legs and he is trying to run away, it's best to let him run.
Abraham Lincoln
Bad promises are better broken than kept.
Abraham Lincoln
I shall always think of myself first and foremost... as a hunter.
Abraham Lincoln
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
Whatever spiteful fools may say, Each jealous ranting yelper, No woman ever went astray, Without a man to help her
Abraham Lincoln
