More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
We think slavery a great moral wrong, and while we do not claim the right to touch it where it exists, we wish to treat it as a wrong in the territories, where our votes will reach it.
Abraham Lincoln
I shall adopt new views as fast as they shall appear to be true views.
Abraham Lincoln
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
The sense of obligation to continue is present in all of us. A duty to strive is the duty of us all. I felt a call to that duty.
Abraham Lincoln
I am a patient man--always willing to forgive on the Christian terms of repentance, and also to give ample time for repentance. Still, I must save this government, if possible. What I cannot do, of course I will not do, but it may as well be understood, once for all, that I shall not surrender this game leaving any available card unplayed.
Abraham Lincoln
If slavery is not wrong, nothing is wrong.
Abraham Lincoln
I shall do less whenever I shall believe what I am doing hurts the cause and I shall do more whenever I shall believe doing more will help the cause. I shall try to correct errors when shown to be errors and I shall adopt new views so fast as they shall appear to be true views.
Abraham Lincoln
Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves.
Abraham Lincoln
I go for all sharing the privileges of the government who assist in bearing its burdens.
Abraham Lincoln
The love of property and consciousness of right and wrong have conflicting places in our organization, which often makes a man's course seem crooked, his conduct a riddle.
Abraham Lincoln
I was born and have ever remaind [sic] in the most humble walks of life.
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
in times like the present, men should utter nothing for which they would not willingly be responsible through time and eternity.
Abraham Lincoln
Two of my favorite things are sitting on my front porch smoking a pipe of sweet hemp, and playing my Hohner harmonica.
Abraham Lincoln
When Judge Douglas says that whoever, or whatever community, wants slaves, they have a right to have them, he is perfectly logical if there is nothing wrong in the institution but if you admit that it is wrong, he cannot logically say that anybody has a right to do wrong.
Abraham Lincoln
I claim not to have controlled events, but confess plainly that events have controlled me.
Abraham Lincoln
I hold that while a man exists, it is his duty to improve not only his own condition, but to assist in ameliorating mankind.
Abraham Lincoln
Our popular government has often been called an experiment. Two points in it our people have already settled, the successful establishing and the successful administering of it. One still remains, its successful maintenance against a formidable internal attempt to overthrow it.
Abraham Lincoln
The man who stands by and says nothing, when the peril of his government is discussed, can not be misunderstood. If not hindered, he is sure to help the enemy.
Abraham Lincoln
When you have got an elephant by the hind legs and he is trying to run away, it's best to let him run.
