More quotes by Abraham Lincoln

Image
It often requires more courage to dare to do right than to fear to do wrong.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Be excellent and party on dudes.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
One section of our country believes slavery is right, and ought to be extended, while the other believes it is wrong, and ought not to be extended.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Let reverence for the laws . . . become the political religion of the nation.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Labor is prior to, and independent of, capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
As a peacemaker the lawyer has superior opportunity of being a good man.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
It is not 'Is God on my side', but 'Am I on God's side'.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
No man is good enough to govern another man without the other's consent.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
In this troublesome world, we are never quite satisfied. When you were here, I thought you hindered me some in attending to business but now, having nothing but business---no variety---it has grown exceedingly tasteless to me. I hate to sit down and direct documents, and I hate to stay in this old room by myself.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I never did ask more, nor ever was willing to accept less, than for all the States, and the people thereof, to take and hold their places, and their rights, in the Union, under the Constitution of the United States. For this alone have I felt authorized to struggle and I seek neither more nor less now.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
It's time for me to go. But I would rather stay.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I am struggling to maintain the government, not to overthrow it. I am struggling especially to prevent others from overthrowing it.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
The struggle of today, is not altogether for today - it is for a vast future also. With a reliance on Providence, all the more firm and earnest, let us proceed in the great task which events have devolved upon us.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
All that serves labor serves the Nation. All ^ that harms labor is treason to America. No line can be drawn between these two. If any man tells you he loves America, yet hates labor, he is a liar. If any man tells you he trusts America, yet fears labor, he is a fool. There is no America without labor, and to fleece the one is to rob the other.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I do not deny the possibility that the people may err in an election but if they do, the true [cure] is in the next election, and not in the treachery of the person elected.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
As long as the Almighty permitted intelligent men, created in his image and likeness, to fight in public and kill each other while the world looks on approvingly, it's not for me to deprive the chickens of the same privilege.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I believe the declaration that ‘all men are created equal’ is the great fundamental principle upon which our free institutions rest.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
His argument is as thin as the homeopathic soup that was made by oiling the shadow of a pigeon that had been starved to death.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I know not how to aid you, save in the assurance of one of mature age, and much severe experience, that you can not fail, if you resolutely determine, that you will not.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
A universal feeling, whether well or ill founded, cannot be safely disregarded.
