Familiarize yourselves with t...

Familiarize yourselves with the chains of bondage and you prepare your own limbs to wear them. Accustomed to trample on the rights of others, you have lost the genius of your own independence and become the fit subjects of the first cunning tyrant who rises among you.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

From whence shall we expect t...

From whence shall we expect the approach of danger? Shall some trans-Atlantic military giant step the earth and crush us at a blow? Never. All the armies of Europe and Asia...could not by force take a drink from the Ohio River or make a track on the Blue Ridge in the trial of a thousand years. No, if destruction be our lot we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of free men we will live forever or die by suicide.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

Property is the fruit of labo...

Property is the fruit of labor; property is desirable; it is a positive good.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

No country can sustain, in id...

No country can sustain, in idleness, more than a small percentage of its numbers. The great majority must labor at something productive.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

Without the assistance of tha...

Without the assistance of that Divine Being...I cannot succeed. With that assistance I cannot fail.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

We can not have free governme...

We can not have free government without elections; and if the rebellion could force us to forego, or postpone a national election it might fairly claim to have already conquered and ruined us.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

Why don't I drink from a stra...

Why don't I drink from a straw? Because straws are for suckers.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

Let no feeling of discouragem...

Let no feeling of discouragement prey upon you, and in the end you are sure to succeed.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

In giving freedom to the slav...

In giving freedom to the slave, we assure freedom to the free - honorable alike in what we give and what we preserve. We shall nobly save, or meanly lose, the last best hope of earth.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

My paramount object in this s...

My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that. What I do about slavery, and the colored race, I do because I believe it helps to save the Union; and what I forbear, I forbear because I do not believe it would help to save the Union.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

I have stepped out upon this ...

I have stepped out upon this platform that I may see you and that you may see me, and in the arrangement I have the best of the bargain.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

I do but quote from one of th...

I do but quote from one of those speeches when I declare that "I have no purpose, directly or indirectly, to interfere with the institution of slavery in the States where it exists. I believe I have no lawful right to do so, and I have no inclination to do so."

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

If I am killed, I can die by ...

If I am killed, I can die by once; but to live in constant dread of it, is to die over and over again.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

I shall not do more than I ca...

I shall not do more than I can, and I shall do all I can to save the government, which is my sworn duty as well as my personal inclination. I shall do nothing in malice. What I deal with is too vast for malicious dealing.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

If by the mere force of numbe...

If by the mere force of numbers a majority should deprive a minority of any clearly written constitutional right, it might, in a moral point of view, justify revolution.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

If the American people could ...

If the American people could learn what I know of the fierce hatred of the priests of Rome against our institutions, our schools, our most sacred rights, and our so dearly bought liberties, they would drive them out as traitors.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

When I get ready to talk to p...

When I get ready to talk to people, I spend two thirds of the time thinking what they want to hear and one third thinking about what I want to say.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

I have been driven many times...

I have been driven many times upon my knees by the overwhelming conviction that I had no where else to go. My own wisdom and that of all about me seemed insufficient for that day.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

Wise statesmen ... establishe...

Wise statesmen ... established these great self-evident truths, that when in the distant future some man, some faction, some interest, should set up the doctrine that none but rich men, or none but white men, were entitled to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, their posterity should look up again at the Declaration of Independence and take courage to renew the battle which their fathers began.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

We cannot but believe that He...

We cannot but believe that He who made the world still governs it.
