The Cause of civil liberty mu...

The Cause of civil liberty must not be surrendered at the end of one, or even one hundred defeats.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

If the good people in their w...

If the good people in their wisdom shall see fit to keep me in the background, I have been too familiar with disappointments to bevery much chagrined.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

If there is anything which it...

If there is anything which it is the duty of the whole people to never entrust to any hands but their own, that thing is the preservation and perpetuity of their own liberties and institutions.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

The greatest fine art of the ...

The greatest fine art of the future will be the making of a comfortable living from a small piece of land.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

You are ambitious, which, within reasonable bounds, does good rather than harm.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

But, slavery is good for some people! ! ! As a good thing, slavery is strikingly peculiar, in this, that it is the only good thing which no man ever seeks the good of, for himself.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

If ever this free people, if ...

If ever this free people, if this Government itself is ever utterly demoralized, it will come from this incessant human wriggle and struggle for office, which is but a way to live without work.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

I hold that if the Almighty h...

I hold that if the Almighty had ever made a set of men that should do all the eating and none of the work, he would have made them with mouths only and no hands, and if he had ever made another class that he intended should do all the work and none of the eating, he would have made them without mouths and with all hands.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

It is safe to assert that no ...

It is safe to assert that no government proper ever had a provision in its organic law for its own termination.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

My faith in the proposition that each man should do precisely as he pleases with all which is exclusively his own lies at the foundation of the sense of justice there is in me.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

And by virtue of the power, a...

And by virtue of the power, and for the purpose aforesaid, I do order and declare that all persons held as slaves within said designated States, and parts of States, are, and henceforward shall be free; and that the Executive government of the United States, including the military and naval authorities thereof, will recognize and maintain the freedom of said persons.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

I have always thought that al...

I have always thought that all men should be free; but if any should be slaves, it should be first those who desire for themselves, and secondly those who desire it for others. Whenever I hear anyone arguing for slavery, I feel a strong impulse to see it tried on him personally.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

And I am glad to know that th...

And I am glad to know that there is a system of labor - where the laborer can strike if he wants to! I would to God that such a system prevailed all over the world.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

I take it that it is best for...

I take it that it is best for all to leave each man free to acquire property as fast as he can. Some will get wealthy. I dont believe in a law to prevent a man from getting rich; it would do more harm than good.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

If the union of these States,...

If the union of these States, and the liberties of this people, shall be lost, it is but little to any one man of fifty-two yearsof age, but a great deal to the thirty millions of people who inhabit these United States, and to their posterity in all coming time.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

He who does something at the ...

He who does something at the head of one Regiment, will eclipse him who does nothing at the head of a hundred.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

A house divided against itsel...

A house divided against itself cannot stand." I believe this government cannot endure, permanently half slave and half free. I do not expect the Union to be dissolved — I do not expect the house to fall — but I do expect it will cease to be divided. It will become all one thing or all the other.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

Much is being said about peace; and no man desires peace more ardently than I. Still I am yet unprepared to give up the Union fora peace which, so achieved, could not be of much duration.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

I wish all men to be free. I ...

I wish all men to be free. I wish the material prosperity of the already free which I feel sure the extinction of slavery would bring.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

If a man will stand up and as...

If a man will stand up and assert, and repeat and re-assert, that two and two do not make four, I know nothing in the power of argument that can stop him.
