Text Quotes
So plain that no one, high or low, ever does mistake it, except in a plainly selfish way; for although volume upon volume is written to prove slavery a very good thing, we never hear of the man who wishes to take the good of it, by being a slave himself (Abraham Lincoln Quotes)
When I have a particular case in hand, I have that motive and feel an interest in the case, feel an interest in ferreting out the questions to the bottom, love to dig up the question by the roots and hold it up and dry it before the fires of the mind (Abraham Lincoln Quotes)
When I so pressingly urge a strict observance of all the laws, let me not be understood as saying there are no bad laws, nor that grievances may not arise, for the redress of which, no legal provisions have been made. I mean to say no such thing. But I do mean to say, that, although bad laws, if they exist, should be repealed as soon as possible, still while they continue in force, for the sake of example, they should be religiously observed (Abraham Lincoln Quotes)
Every man is proud of what he does well; and no man is proud of what he does not do well. With the former, his heart is in his work; and he will do twice as much of it with less fatigue. The latter performs a little imperfectly, looks at it in disgust, turns from it, and imagines himself exceedingly tired. The little he has done, comes to nothing, for want of finishing (Abraham Lincoln Quotes)
In the first place, I insist that our fathers did not make this nation half slave and half free, or part slave and part free. I insist that they found the institution of slavery existing here. They did not make it so, but they left it so because they knew of no way to get rid of it at that time (Abraham Lincoln Quotes)
Government, possessing the power to create and issue currency and credit as money and enjoying the right to withdraw both currency and credit from circulation by taxation and otherwise, need not and should not borrow capital at interest as a means of financing government work and public enterprises (Abraham Lincoln Quotes)
The money power preys on the nation in times of peace, and conspires against it in times of adversity. It is more despotic than monarchy, more insolent than autocracy, more selfish than bureaucracy. It denounces, as public enemies, all who question its methods or throw light upon its crimes (Abraham Lincoln Quotes)
Our republican system was meant for a homogeneous people. As long as blacks continue to live with the whites they constitute a threat to the national life. Family life may also collapse and the increase of mixed breed bastards may some day challenge the supremacy of the white man (Abraham Lincoln Quotes)
I will say, then, that I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races: that I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of making voters or jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people (Abraham Lincoln Quotes)
A drop of honey catches more flies than a gallon of gall. So with men. If you would win a man to your cause, first convince him that you are his sincere friend. Therein is a drop of honey which catches his heart, which, say what he will, is the highroad to his reason (Abraham Lincoln Quotes)
I could not sleep when I got on such a hunt for an idea until I had caught it;... This was a kind of passion with me, and it has stuck by me; for I am never easy now, when I am handling a thought, till I have bounded it north, and bounded it south, and bounded it east, and bounded it west (Abraham Lincoln Quotes)
No organic law can ever be framed with a provision specifically applicable to every question which may occur in practical administration... No foresight can anticipate nor any document of reasonable length contain express provisions for all possible questions (Abraham Lincoln Quotes)
While I have often said that all men out to be free, yet I would allow those colored persons to be slaves who want to be; and next to them those white persons who argue in favor of making other people slaves. I am in favor of giving an opportunity to such white men to try it on for themselves (Abraham Lincoln Quotes)
... 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 Quotes)
Our common country is in great peril, demanding the loftiest views, and boldest action to bring it speedy relief. Once relieved, its form of government is saved to the world; its beloved history, and cherished memories, are vindicated; and its happy future fully assured, and rendered inconceivably grand (Abraham Lincoln Quotes)
Thoughtful men must feel that the fate of civilization upon this continent is involved in the issue of our contest. Among the most satisfying proofs of this conviction is the hearty devotion everywhere exhibited by our schools and colleges to the national cause (Abraham Lincoln Quotes)
Peace will come soon to stay, and so come as to be worth keeping in all future time. It will then have proved that among free men there can be no successful appeal from the ballot to the bullet, and that they who take such appeal are sure their cases and pay the costs (Abraham Lincoln Quotes)
By general law life and limb must be protected; yet often a limb must be amputated to save a life; but a life is never wisely given to save a limb (Abraham Lincoln Quotes)
If destruction be our lot we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of free men we must live through all time, or die by suicide (Abraham Lincoln Quotes)
What has once happened, will invariably happen again, when the same circumstances which combined to produce it, shall again combine in the same way (Abraham Lincoln Quotes)
But let the past as nothing be. For the future my view is that the fight must go on (Abraham Lincoln Quotes)
Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves, Robert Lincoln bought a nice ski lodge (Abraham Lincoln Quotes)
We all remember Abraham Lincoln as the leader who saved our Union. Founder of the Republican Party (Abraham Lincoln Quotes)
I think there were two great gay Americans obviously, and that was Abraham Lincoln and Walt Whitman (Abraham Lincoln Quotes)
And always remember, Abraham Lincoln only served one term in Congress, too (Abraham Lincoln Quotes)
When I was a child I had a crush on Abraham Lincoln. Why I would choose to reveal this, I know not (Abraham Lincoln Quotes)
Gorbachev's stance contrasts admirably with the policy of the sainted Abraham Lincoln, who used massive force and mass murder to force the seceding Southern states to remain in the Union (Abraham Lincoln Quotes)
There's as much crookedness as you want to find. There was something Abraham Lincoln said - he'd rather trust and be disappointed than distrust and be miserable all the time. Maybe I trusted too much (Abraham Lincoln Quotes)
I am a Republican. I'm loyal to the party of Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt. And I believe that my party, in some ways, has strayed from those principles, particularly on the issue of fiscal discipline (Abraham Lincoln Quotes)
If you think Abraham Lincoln became famous for inventing the town car, it is time to spend a few hours on history (Abraham Lincoln Quotes)
