Image
Military glory-that attractive rainbow, that rises in showers of blood-that serpent's eye, that charms to destroy.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
...I do not mean to say that this general government is charged with the duty of redressing or preventing all the wrongs in the world but I do think that it is charged with the duty of preventing and redressing all wrongs which are wrongs to itself.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
No client ever had money enough to bribe my conscience or to stop its utterance against wrong, and oppression. My conscience is my own - my creators - not man's. I shall never sink the rights of mankind to the malice, wrong, or avarice of another's wishes, though those wishes come to me in the relation of client and attorney.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I never knew a man who wished to be himself a slave. Consider if you know any good thing, that no man desires for himself.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Be sure you put your feet in the right place, then stand firm.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I hope to stand firm enough to not go backward, and yet not go forward fast enough to wreck the country's cause.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
As to the whiskers, having never worn any, do you not think people would call it a piece of silly affectation if I were to begin it now?
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I do not think I could myself, be brought to support a man for office, whom I knew to be an open enemy of, and scoffer at, religion. Leaving the higher matter of eternal consequences, between him and his Maker, I still do not think any man has the right thus to insult the feelings, and injure the morals, of the community in which he may live.

Don't swap horses in the middle of the stream.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I remember my mother's prayers and they have always followed me. They have clung to me all my life.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I do the very best I know how - the very best I can and I mean to keep on doing so until the end.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Most folks are as happy as they make up their minds to be.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Lonely men seek companionship. Lonely women sit at home and wait. They never meet.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
My friends I now leave, not knowing when, or whether ever, I may return, with a task before me greater than that which rested upon Washington. Without the assistance of that Divine Being, who ever attended him, I cannot succeed. With that assistance, I cannot fail.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
It is to deny, what the history of the world tells us is true, to suppose that men of ambition and talents will not continue to spring up amongst us. And, when they do, they will as naturally seek the gratification of their ruling passion, as others have so done before them.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
You have to do your own growing no matter how tall your grandfather was.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
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
Image
I have two great enemies, the Southern Army in front of me and the bankers in the rear. Of the two, the one at my rear is my greatest foe.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
No client ever had money enough to bribe my conscience or to stop its utterance against wrong, and oppression.
Abraham Lincoln

Things may come to those who wait, but only the things left by those who hustle.
