More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
We hope all danger may be overcome but to conclude that no danger may ever arise would itself be extremely dangerous.
Abraham Lincoln
I go for all sharing the privileges of the government who assist in bearing its burdens. Consequently I go for admitting all whites to the right of suffrage who pay taxes or bear arms, by no means excluding females.
Abraham Lincoln
A nation that does not honor its heroes will not long endure.
Abraham Lincoln
If I am killed, I can die by once but to live in constant dread of it, is to die over and over again.
Abraham Lincoln
The most reliable way to predict the future is to create it.
Abraham Lincoln
Elections belong to the people. It's their decision. If they decide to turn their back on the fire and burn their behinds, then they will just have to sit on their blisters.
Abraham Lincoln
Weakness is what keeps driving us to God, by the overwhelming conviction that there just isn't anywhere else to go.
Abraham Lincoln
The good old maxims of the Bible are applicable, and truly applicable to human affairs, and in this as in other things, we may say here that he who is not for us is against us he would gathereth not with us scattereth.
Abraham Lincoln
I laugh because I must not cry, that is all, that is all.
Abraham Lincoln
I know there is a God, and that He hates injustice and slavery. I see the storm coming, and I know that his hand is in it. If He has a place and work for me - and I think He has - I believe I am ready.
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
A man's legs must be long enough to reach the ground.
Abraham Lincoln
No matter how much cats fight, there always seem to be plenty of kittens.
Abraham Lincoln
Every man's happiness is his own responsibility.
Abraham Lincoln
[Uniting workers should not] lead to a war upon property, or the owners of property.
Abraham Lincoln
I destroy my enemy if I make him my friend.
Abraham Lincoln
I have endured a great deal of ridicule without much malice and have received a great deal of kindness, not quite free from ridicule. I am used to it.
Abraham Lincoln
Let the people know the truth and the country is safe.
Abraham Lincoln
I fear you do not fully comprehend the danger of abridging the liberties of the people. Nothing but the sternest necessity can ever justify it. A government had better go to the extreme of toleration, than to do aught that could be construed into an interference with, or to jeopardize in any degree, the common rights of its citizens.
Abraham Lincoln
We must not promise what we ought not, lest we be called on to perform what we cannot.
Abraham Lincoln
