More quotes by Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
In giving freedom to the slave, we assure freedom to the free.
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
I shall not do more than I can, and I shall do all I can to save the government, which is my sworn duty as well as my personal inclination. I shall do nothing in malice. What I deal with is too vast for malicious dealing.
Abraham Lincoln
The very spot where grew the bread that formed my bones, I see. How strange, old field, on thee to tread, and feel I'm part of thee.
Abraham Lincoln
I am glad to see that a system of labor prevails under which laborers can strike when they want to.
Abraham Lincoln
If you wish to be a lawyer, attach no consequence to the place you are in, or the person you are with but get books, sit down anywhere, and go to reading for yourself. That will make a lawyer of you quicker than any other way.
Abraham Lincoln
I am busily engaged in the study of the Bible. I believe it is God's word because it finds me where I am.
Abraham Lincoln
We cannot escape history.
Abraham Lincoln
The legitimate object of government is to do for a community of people whatever they need to have done, but can not do at all, or can not so well do, for themselves – in their separate, and individual capacities.
Abraham Lincoln
The people know their rights, and they are never slow to assert and maintain them, when they are invaded.
Abraham Lincoln
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
I freely acknowledge myself the servant of the people, according to the bond of service - the United States Constitution and that, as such, I am responsible to them.
Abraham Lincoln
This is a world of compensations and he who would be no slave, must consent to have no slave.
Abraham Lincoln
We can not have free government without elections and if the rebellion could force us to forego, or postpone a national election it might fairly claim to have already conquered and ruined us.
Abraham Lincoln
Such a man the times have demanded, and such, in the providence of God was given us. But he is gone. Let us strive to deserve, as far as mortals may, the continued care of Divine Providence, trusting that, in future national emergencies, He will not fail to provide us the instruments of safety and security.
Abraham Lincoln
Destroy your enemy by making him your friend.
Abraham Lincoln
I am slow to learn and slow to forget that which I have learned. My mind is like a piece of steel, very hard to scratch any thing on it and almost impossible after you get it there to rub it out.
Abraham Lincoln
Free labor has the inspiration of hope pure slavery has no hope.
Abraham Lincoln
I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live up to the light I have. I must stand with anybody that stands right - stand with him while he is right and part with him when he goes wrong.
Abraham Lincoln
