More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
I have been driven many times upon my knees by the overwhelming conviction that I had no where else to go. My own wisdom and that of all about me seemed insufficient for that day.
Abraham Lincoln
We hoped for a happy termination of this terrible war long before this but God knows best, and has ruled otherwise. We shall yet acknowledge His wisdom and our own error therein.
Abraham Lincoln
Character is like a tree and reputation like a shadow. The shadow is what we think of it the tree is the real thing.
Abraham Lincoln
I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true.
Abraham Lincoln
I think to lose Kentucky is nearly the same as to lose the whole game.
Abraham Lincoln
Nations do not die from invasion they die from internal rottenness.
Abraham Lincoln
The money power preys on the nation in times of peace, and conspires against it in times of adversity. It is more despotic than monarchy, more insolent than autocracy, more selfish than bureaucracy. It denounces, as public enemies, all who question its methods or throw light upon its crimes.

Everyone likes a good quote - don't forget to share.
Abraham Lincoln
Twenty-two years ago Judge [then-Senator Stephen] Douglas and I first became acquainted. We were both young then he a trifle younger than I.

Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
War, at the best, is terrible, and this war of ours, in its magnitude and in its duration, is one of the most terrible.
Abraham Lincoln
Behind the cloud the sun is still shining.
Abraham Lincoln
Books serve to show a man that those original thoughts of his aren't very new at all.
Abraham Lincoln
The enthusiastic uprising of the people in our cause, is our great reliance and we can not safely give it any check, even thoughit overflows, and runs in channels not laid down in any chart.
Abraham Lincoln
Received as I am by the members of a legislature the majority of whom do not agree with me in political sentiments, I trust that I may have their assistance in piloting the ship of state through this voyage, surrounded by perils as it is for if it should suffer wreck now, there will be no pilot ever needed for another voyage.
Abraham Lincoln
I can make a General in five minutes but a good horse is hard to replace.
Abraham Lincoln
I belive that people should fight for what they believe and only what they believe.
Abraham Lincoln
I have a congenital aversion to failure.
Abraham Lincoln
These men ask for just the same thing, fairness, and fairness only. This, so far as in my power, they, and all others, shall have.
Abraham Lincoln
