More quotes by Abraham Lincoln

Image
A good, real, unrestrained, hearty laugh is a sort of glorified internal massage, performed rapidly and automatically. It manipulates and revitalizes corners and unexplored crannies of the system that are unresponsive to most other exercise methods. With the fearful strain that is on me night and day, if I did not laugh I should die.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
It is my pleasure that my children are free and happy, and unrestrained by parental tyranny. Love is the chain whereby to bind a child to its parents.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
The way for a young man to rise is to improve himself in every way he can, never suspecting that anybody wishes to hinder him.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Every person is responsible for his own looks after 40.
Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
Image
Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves.
Abraham Lincoln

All that serves labor serves the Nation. All ^ that harms labor is treason to America. No line can be drawn between these two. If any man tells you he loves America, yet hates labor, he is a liar. If any man tells you he trusts America, yet fears labor, he is a fool. There is no America without labor, and to fleece the one is to rob the other.
Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
Image
The land, the earth God gave to man for his home ... should never be the possession of any man, corporation, (or) society ... any more than the air or water.

I cannot think that we are useless or God would not have created us.

If I were two-faced, would I be wearing this one?
Abraham Lincoln
Image
This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it. Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing government, they can exercise their constitutional right of amending it, or exercise their revolutionary right to overthrow it.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Continue to execute all the express provisions of our national Constitution, and the Union will endure forever-it being impossible to destroy it, except by some action not provided for in the instrument itself.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Peace does not appear so distant as it did. I hope it will come soon, and come to stay and so come as to be worth the keeping in all future time.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I am satisfied that when the Almighty wants me to do or not do any particular thing, He finds a way of letting me know it
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Public opinion, though often formed upon a wrong basis, yet generally has a strong underlying sense of justice.

I could as easily bail out the Potomac River with a teaspoon as attend to all the details of the army.
