More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
I turn, then, and look to the American people and to that God who has never forsaken them.
Abraham Lincoln
God bless the soldiers and seamen, with all their brave commanders.
Abraham Lincoln
I am naturally anti-slavery. If slavery is not wrong, nothing is wrong. I can not remember when I did not so think, and feel. And yet I have never understood that the Presidency conferred upon me an unrestricted right to act officially upon this judgment and feeling.
Abraham Lincoln
A universal feeling, whether well or ill founded, cannot be safely disregarded.
Abraham Lincoln
You have more of a feeling of personal resentment than I have. Perhaps, I have too little of it, but I never thought it paid.
Abraham Lincoln
The fiery trials through which we pass will light us down in honor or dishonor to the latest generation.
Abraham Lincoln
I certainly know that if the war fails, the administration fails, and that I will be blamed for it, whether I deserve it or not. And I ought to be blamed, if I could do better. You think I could do better therefore you blame me already. I think I could not do better therefore I blame you for blaming me.
Abraham Lincoln
I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true.
Abraham Lincoln
So you're the little woman who wrote the book that made this great war!
Abraham Lincoln
With the fearful strain that is on me night and day, if I did not laugh I should die.
Abraham Lincoln
I have always thought that all men should be free but if any should be slaves, it should be first those who desire for themselves, and secondly those who desire it for others. Whenever I hear anyone arguing for slavery, I feel a strong impulse to see it tried on him personally.
Abraham Lincoln
God is the silent partner in ALL great enterprises.
Abraham Lincoln
I claim not to have controlled events, but confess plainly that events have controlled me.
Abraham Lincoln
The demon of intemperance ever seems to have delighted in sucking the blood of genius and of generosity.
Abraham Lincoln
Every man is said to have his peculiar ambition.
Abraham Lincoln
The strength of a nation lies in the homes of its people.
Abraham Lincoln
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure.
Abraham Lincoln
The Autocrat of all the Russias will resign his crown, and proclaim his subjects free republicans sooner than will our American masters voluntarily give up their slaves.
Abraham Lincoln
You say you will not fight to free negroes. Some of them seem willing to fight for you but, no matter. Fight you, then exclusively to save the Union.
Abraham Lincoln
My politics are short and sweet, like the old woman's dance.
Abraham Lincoln
