Let every American, every lover of liberty, every well wisher to his posterity, swear by the blood of the Revolution, never to violate in the least particular, the laws of the country and never to tolerate their violation by others.
Abraham Lincoln

Behind the cloud the sun is still shining.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Let there be no compromise on the question of extending slavery. If there be, all our labor is lost, and, ere long, must be done again.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I remember my mother's prayers and they have always followed me. They have clung to me all my life.
Abraham Lincoln

While we are grateful to all the brave men and officers for the events of the past few days, we should, above all, be very grateful to Almighty God, who gives us victory.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
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
Image

I could write shorter sermons but when I get started I'm too lazy to stop
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I believe, if we take habitual drunkards as a class, their heads and their hearts will bear an advantageous comparison with those of any other class. There seems ever to have been a proneness in the brilliant and warm-blooded to fall into this vice.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I ... ran for Legislature [in 1832] ... and was beaten-the only time I have been beaten by the people.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Gratefully accepting the proffered honor, [to inscribe a new legal work to him] I give the leave, begging only that the inscription may be in modest terms, not representing me as a man of great learning, or a very extraordinary one in any respect.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
A noble spirit embiggens the smallest man.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
If I gave McClellan all the men he asked for, they could not find room to lie down they'd have to sleep standing up.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
We will make converts day by day we will grow strong by the violence and injustice of our adversaries. And, unless truth be a mockery and justice a hollow lie, we will be in the majority after a while.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
The demon of intemperance ever seems to have delighted in sucking the blood of genius and of generosity.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I am always for the man who wishes to work.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Always let your subordinates know that the honor will be all theirs if they succeed and the blame will be yours if they fail.
