Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
Image
Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other.
Abraham Lincoln

I think that if anything can be proved by natural theology, it is that slavery is morally wrong. God gave man a mouth to receive bread, hands to feed it, and his hand has a right to carry bread to his mouth without controversy.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I want it said of me by those who knew me best, that I always plucked a thistle and planted a flower where I thought a flower would grow.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I go for all sharing the privileges of the government who assist in bearing its burdens.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I confess I hate to see the poor creatures hunted down but I bite my lip and keep quiet.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
With malice towards none with charity for all.
Abraham Lincoln

Image
Prosperity is the fruit of labor. It begins with saving money.
