Image
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
Image
If there is no military need for the building, leave it alone, neither putting anyone in or out of it, except on finding some one preaching or practicing treason, in which case lay hands on him, just as if he were doing the same thing in any other building.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Public opinion, though often formed upon a wrong basis, yet generally has a strong underlying sense of justice.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
You cannot fail unless you quit.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
This is essentially a people's contest... whose leading object is to elevate the condition of men - to lift artificial weights from all shoulders - to clear the paths of laudable pursuit for all - to afford all, an unfettered start and a fair chance, in the race of life.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here so nobly advanced.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
We can succeed only by concert. It is not 'can any of us imagine better?, but 'can we all do better?
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I take it that it is best for all to leave each man free to acquire property as fast as he can. Some will get wealthy. I dont believe in a law to prevent a man from getting rich it would do more harm than good.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Again, a law may be both constitutional and expedient, and yet may be administered in an unjust and unfair way.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I trust that as He shall further open the way, I will be ready to walk therein, relying on His help and trusting in His goodness and wisdom.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Be sure you put your feet in the right place, then stand firm.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
In the first place, I insist that our fathers did not make this nation half slave and half free, or part slave and part free. I insist that they found the institution of slavery existing here. They did not make it so, but they left it so because they knew of no way to get rid of it at that time.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Must a government be too strong for the liberties of its people or too weak to maintain its own existence?
Abraham Lincoln
Image
If there is anything that links the human to the divine, it is the courage to stand by a principle when everybody else rejects it.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
It is the man who does not want to express an opinion whose opinion I want.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
So viewing the issue, no choice was left but to call out the war power of the Government and so to resist force, employed for its destruction, by force, for its preservation.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Most people are as happy as they want to be.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
The purposes of the Almighty are perfect, and must prevail, though we erring mortals may fail to accurately perceive them in advance.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I always [or often] walk slowly, but I never walk backwards.
Abraham Lincoln
