No man is poor who has a Godly mother.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
We trust, sir, that God is on our side. It is more important to know that we are on God's side.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
We have all heard of Young America. He is the most current youth of the age. Some think him conceited, and arrogant but has he not reason to entertain a rather extensive opinion of himself? Is he not the inventor and owner of the present, and sole hope of the future?
Abraham Lincoln
Image
A nation that does not honor its heroes will not long endure.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
In order to win a man to your cause, you must first reach his heart, the great high road to his reason.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
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
Image
I can make a General in five minutes but a good horse is hard to replace.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
My faith in the proposition that each man should do precisely as he pleases with all which is exclusively his own lies at the foundation of the sense of justice there is in me.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
We can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorn bushes have roses.
Abraham Lincoln

Let no feeling of discouragement prey upon you, and in the end you are sure to succeed.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
To read in the Bible, as the word of God himself, that In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, [] and to preach there-from that, In the sweat of other mans faces shalt thou eat bread, to my mind can scarcely be reconciled with honest sincerity.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Public sentiment is everything. With public sentiment, nothing can fail. Without it, nothing can succeed.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
When the hour comes for dealing with slavery, I trust I will be willing to do my duty though it cost my life.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
We cannot but believe that He who made the world still governs it.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Submitted to the Sec. of War. On principle I dislike an oath which requires a man to swear he has not done wrong. It rejects the Christian principle of forgiveness on terms of repentance. I think it is enough if the man does no wrong hereafter.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
When any church will inscribe over its altar, as its sole qualification for membership, the Savior's condensed statement of the substance of both law and Gospel, 'Thou shalt love the lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul and thy neighbor as thyself' that church will I join with all my heart and all my soul.

Everybody likes compliment.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
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
Image
I believe this Government cannot endure, permanently half slave and half free.

Believing everybody is dangerous, but believing nobody is more dangerous.
