More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
We have all heard of Young America. He is the most current youth of the age. Some think him conceited, and arrogant but has he not reason to entertain a rather extensive opinion of himself? Is he not the inventor and owner of the present, and sole hope of the future?
Abraham Lincoln
Rules of living Don't worry, eat three square meals a day,say your prayers, be courteous to your creditors, keep your digestion good,steer clear of biliousness,exercise, go slow and go easy. May be there are other things that your special case requires to make you happy, but my friend, these, i reckon, will give you a good life.
Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
The one victory we can ever call complete will be that one which proclaims that there is not one slave or one drunkard on the face of God's green earth.

So I left my situation in Springfield, went home to my father's house, and stayed there till I could give any proposition in the six books of Euclid at sight. I then found out what demonstrate means, and went back to my law studies.
Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
My father, at the death of his father, was but six years of age and he grew up, literally without education.
Abraham Lincoln
Whenever I hear anyone arguing for slavery, I feel a strong impulse to see it tried on him personally.
Abraham Lincoln
Let all Americans - let all lovers of liberty everywhere - join in the great and good work. If we do this, we shall not only have saved the Union but we shall have so saved it, as to make, and to keep it, forever worthy of the saving.
Abraham Lincoln
When I get ready to talk to people, I spend two thirds of the time thinking what they want to hear and one third thinking about what I want to say.
Abraham Lincoln
Public opinion in this country is everything.
Abraham Lincoln
You think slavery is right and ought to be extended while we think it is wrong and ought to be restricted. That I suppose is the rub. It certainly is the only substantial difference between us.
Abraham Lincoln
Man is not the only animal who labors but he is the only one who improves his workmanship.
Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
Your rights end where my nose begins.
Abraham Lincoln
Let no feeling of discouragement prey upon you, and in the end you are sure to succeed.

You can have anything you want if you want it badly enough. You can be anything you want to be, do anything you set out to accomplish if you hold to that desire with singleness of purpose.
Abraham Lincoln
