[If not re-elected in 1864] then it will be my duty to so co-operate with the President elect, as to save the Union between the election and the inauguration; as he will have secured his election on such ground that he can not possibly save it afterwards.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

I shall do less whenever I sh...

I shall do less whenever I shall believe what I am doing hurts the cause and I shall do more whenever I shall believe doing more will help the cause. I shall try to correct errors when shown to be errors and I shall adopt new views so fast as they shall appear to be true views.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

I have never united myself to any church because I found difficulty in giving my assent without mental reservation to the long, complicated statements of Christian doctrine which characterize the articles of belief and the usual confession of faith.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

Neither party expected for th...

Neither party expected for the war, the magnitude, or the duration, which it has already attained. Neither anticipated that the cause of the conflict might cease with, or even before, the conflict itself should cease.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

Oh, that [his Thanksgiving Me...

Oh, that [his Thanksgiving Message] is some of Seward's nonsense, and it pleases the fools.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

There was the strangest combi...

There was the strangest combination of church influence against me. Baker is a Campbellite; and therefore, as I suppose with few exceptions, got all of that Church. My wife had some relations in the Presbyterian churches, and some in the Episcopal churches; and therefore, wherever it would tell, I was set down as either one or the other, while it was everywhere contended that no Christian ought to vote for me because I belonged to no Church, and was suspected of being a Deist and had talked of fighting a duel.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

The matter of fees is important, far beyond the mere question of bread and butter involved. Properly attended to, fuller justice is done to both lawyer and client.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

You may have a wen or a cancer upon your person and not be able to cut it out lest you bleed to death; but surely it is no way tocure it, to engraft it and spread it over your whole body.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

You must think I am a high-priced man.... Fifteen dollars is enough for the job. I send you a receipt for fifteen dollars, and return to you a ten-dollar bill.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

Towering genius disdains a beaten path ... It scorns to tread in the footsteps of any predecessor, however illustrious. It thirsts for distinction.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

I did say, at Chicago, in my speech there, that I do wish to see the spread of slavery arrested and to see it placed where the public mind shall rest in the belief that it is in course of ultimate extinction.

I don't s'pose anybody on earth likes gingerbread better'n I do-and gets less'n I do.

If I had my way, this war would never have been commenced. If I had been allowed my way this war would have been ended before this.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

A jury too often has at least one member more ready to hang the panel than to hang the traitor.

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 1446 quotes

Gen. Schurz thinks I was a little cross in my late note to you. If I was, I ask pardon. If I do get up a little temper I have no sufficient time to keep it up.

A long visit to a friend is often a great bore. Never make people twice glad.

People are just as happy as they choose to be.

The negative principle that no law is free law, is not much known except among lawyers.

All I ask for the negro is that if you do not like him, let him alone. If God gave him but little, that little let him enjoy.
