All the armies of Europe combined could not by force make a track upon the Blue Ridge, or take a drink from the Ohio. If we are to be destroyed, we must do it ourselves.

More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
I do not boast that God is on my side, I humbly pray that I am on God's side.
Abraham Lincoln
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
Nothing is stronger than gentleness.
Abraham Lincoln
Woe unto the world because of offenses for it must needs be that offenses come, but woe to that man by whom the offense cometh.
Abraham Lincoln
Discipline is choosing between what you want now, and what you want most.
Abraham Lincoln
I was raised to farm work.
Abraham Lincoln
Lonely men seek companionship. Lonely women sit at home and wait. They never meet.
Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
Intoxicated with unbroken success, we have become too self sufficient to feel the necessity of redeeming and preserving grace, too proud to pray to the God that made us.
Abraham Lincoln
No State, upon it own mere motion, can lawfully get out of the Union. Resolves and ordinances to that effect are legally nothing. I therefore consider that the Union is unbroken. There needs to be no bloodshed or violence and there shall be none, unless forced upon the national authority.
Abraham Lincoln
Repeal the Missouri Compromise - repeal all compromises - repeal the Declaration of Independence - repeal all past history, you still can not repeal human nature. It still will be the abundance of man's heart, that slavery extension is wrong and out of the abundance of his heart, his mouth will continue to speak.
Abraham Lincoln
Achievement has no color
Abraham Lincoln
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
Work, work, work, is the main thing.
Abraham Lincoln
Everybody likes compliment.
Abraham Lincoln
I was elected a Captain of Volunteers--a success which gave me more pleasure than any I have had since.
Abraham Lincoln
Few can be induced to labor exclusively for posterity - Posterity has done nothing for us
Abraham Lincoln
