If 600,000 people have to die...

If 600,000 people have to die in order for the nation to live, then 600,000 people will die.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

I happen temporarily to occupy this big White House. I am living witness that any one of your children may look to come here as my father's child has.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

The leading rule for the lawy...

The leading rule for the lawyer, as for the man of every other calling, is diligence. Leave nothing for to-morrow which can be done to-day.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

I have always wanted to deal ...

I have always wanted to deal with everyone I meet candidly and honestly. If I have made any assertion not warranted by facts, and it is pointed out to me, I will withdraw it cheerfully.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

Tangible language, which ofte...

Tangible language, which often tells more falsehoods than truths.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

It is not the qualified voter...

It is not the qualified voters, but the qualified voters who choose to vote, that constitute political power.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

Both parties deprecated war; ...

Both parties deprecated war; but one of them would make war rather than let the nation survive; and the other would accept war rather than let it perish. And the war came.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

Were it not for my little jok...

Were it not for my little jokes, I could not bear the burdens of this office.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

It is not merely for to-day, ...

It is not merely for to-day, but for all time to come that we should perpetuate for our children's children this great and free government, which we have enjoyed all our lives.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

As long as the Almighty permi...

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 1446 quotes

The master not only governs t...

The master not only governs the slave without his consent, but he governs him by a set of rules altogether different from those which he prescribes for himself. Allow ALL the governed an equal voice in the government, and that, and that only, is self-government.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

The occasion is piled high with difficulty. We must rise to the occasion.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

Now I confess myself as belon...

Now I confess myself as belonging to that class in the country who contemplate slavery as a moral, social and political evil.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

It will not do to investigate...

It will not do to investigate the subject of religion too closely, as it is apt to lead to infidelity.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

I am not bound to win, but I ...

I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

Think of strangers as friends...

Think of strangers as friends you not met yet.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

I fear you do not fully compr...

I fear you do not fully comprehend the danger of abridging the liberties of the people. Nothing but the sternest necessity can ever justify it. A government had better go to the extreme of toleration, than to do aught that could be construed into an interference with, or to jeopardize in any degree, the common rights of its citizens.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

Adhere to your purpose and yo...

Adhere to your purpose and you will soon feel as well as you ever did. On the contrary, if you falter, and give up, you will lose the power of keeping any resolution, and will regret it all your life.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

...I do not mean to say that ...

...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 1446 quotes

I claim not to have controlled events, but confess plainly that events have controlled me.
