Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

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 1446 quotes

We have been the recipients of the choicest bounties of Heaven; we have been preserved these many years in peace and prosperity; we have grown in numbers, wealth, and power as no other nation has ever grown.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

There is a vague popular belief that lawyers are necessarily dishonest. I say vague, because when we consider to what extent confidence and honors are reposed in and conferred upon lawyers by the people, it appears improbable that their impression of dishonesty is very distinct and vivid. Yet the impression is common, almost universal.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

And then, there will be some ...

And then, there will be some black men who can remember that, with silent tongue, and clenched teeth, and steady eye, and well-poised bayonnet, they have helped mankind on to this great consummation.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

As a general rule never take ...

As a general rule never take your whole fee in advance, nor any more than a small retainer. When fully paid beforehand, you are more than a common mortal if you can feel the same interest in the case, as if something was still in prospect for you, as well as for your client.

In giving freedom to the slave, we assure freedom to the free.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

Always let your subordinates ...

Always let your subordinates know that the honor will be all theirs if they succeed and the blame will be yours if they fail.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

I hope it will not be irreverent in me to say, that if it be probable that God would reveal his will to others, on a point so connected with my duty, it might be supposed he would reveal it directly to me

The best way to get rid of your enemies is to make them your friends.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

The sense of obligation to continue is present in all of us. A duty to strive is the duty of us all. I felt a call to that duty.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

In regard to this Great Book,...

In regard to this Great Book, I have but to say, it is the best gift God has given to man.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

Through their deeds, the dead...

Through their deeds, the dead of battle have spoken more eloquently for themselves than any of the living ever could. But we can only honor them by rededicating ourselves to the cause for which they gave a last full measure of devotion.

Calling a tail a leg does not make it a leg.

The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present.

Destroy your enemy by making him your friend.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

In this age, in this country,...

In this age, in this country, public sentiment is everything. With it, nothing can fail; against it, nothing can succeed. Whoever molds public sentiment goes deeper than he who enacts statutes, or pronounces judicial decisions.

I sincerely wish war was a pleasanter and easier business than it is, but it does not admit of holidays.
