More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
It is not the qualified voters, but the qualified voters who choose to vote, that constitute political power.
Abraham Lincoln
My father taught me to work, but not to love it. I never did like to work, and I don't deny it. I'd rather read, tell stories, crack jokes, talk, laugh -- anything but work.
Abraham Lincoln
No country can sustain, in idleness, more than a small percentage of its numbers. The great majority must labor at something productive.
Abraham Lincoln
The case of Andrews is really a very bad one, as appears by the record already before me. Yet before receiving this I had orderedhis punishment commuted to imprisonmentand had so telegraphed. I did this, not on any merit in the case, but because I am trying to evade the butchering business lately.
Abraham Lincoln
You have to do your own growing no matter how tall your grandfather was.
Abraham Lincoln
Freedom is the last, best hope of earth.
Abraham Lincoln
That our government should have been maintained in its original form from its establishment until now, is not much to be wondered at. It had many props to support it through that period, which now are decayed, and crumbled away. Through that period, it was felt by all, to be an undecided experiment now, it is understood to be a successful one.
Abraham Lincoln
I had been told I was on the road to hell, but I had no idea it was just a mile down the road with a dome on it.
Abraham Lincoln
As labor is the common burden of our race, so the effort of some to shift their share of the burden onto the shoulders of others is the great durable curse of the race.
Abraham Lincoln
You cannot have the right to do what is wrong!
Abraham Lincoln
Senator Douglas holds, we know, that a man may rightfully be wiser today than he was yesterday - that he may rightfully change when he finds himself wrong. But can we, for that reason, run ahead, and infer that he will make any particular change, of which he, himself, has given no intimation?
Abraham Lincoln
Why don't I drink from a straw? Because straws are for suckers.
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
If by the mere force of numbers a majority should deprive a minority of any clearly written constitutional right, it might, in a moral point of view, justify revolution.
Abraham Lincoln
Do I not damage my enemies after i make them my close friends?
Abraham Lincoln
Our defense is in the preservation of the spirit which prizes liberty as a heritage of all men, in all lands, everywhere. Destroy this spirit and you have planted the seeds of despotism around your own doors.
Abraham Lincoln
I don't s'pose anybody on earth likes gingerbread better'n I do-and gets less'n I do.
Abraham Lincoln
Now what is Judge Douglas Popular Sovereignty? It is, as a principle, no other than that, if one man chooses to make a slave of another man, neither that other man nor anybody else has a right to object.
Abraham Lincoln
If once you forfeit the confidence of your fellow-citizens, you can never regain their respect and esteem.
Abraham Lincoln
Public opinion in this country is everything.
Abraham Lincoln
