In 1841 you and I had together a tedious low-water trip, on a Steam Boat from Louisville to St. Louis. You may remember, as I well do, that from Louisville to the mouth of the Ohio there were, on board, ten or a dozen slaves, shackled together with irons. That sight was a continual torment to me; and I see something like it every time I touch the Ohio, or any other slave-border.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

Public opinion, though often ...

I am very little inclined on any occasion to say anything unless I hope to produce some good by it.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

Both read the same Bible, and...

Both read the same Bible, and pray to the same God; and each invokes His aid against the other. It may seem strange that any men should dare to ask a just God's assistance in wringing their bread from the sweat of other men's faces; but let us judge not that we be not judged. The prayers of both could not be answered; that of neither has been answered fully.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

You are young, and I am older;
You are hopeful, I am not-
Enjoy life, ere it grow colder-
Pluck the roses ere they rot.

Human action can be modified to some extent, but human nature can not be changed

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

The Bible says somewhere that we are desperately selfish. I think we would have discovered that fact without the Bible.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

A drop of honey catches more ...

A drop of honey catches more flies than a gallon of gall. So with men. If you would win a man to your cause, first convince him that you are his sincere friend. Therein is a drop of honey which catches his heart, which, say what he will, is the highroad to his reason.

Relying, as I do, upon the Almighty Power, and encouraged as I am by these resolutions which you have just read, with the support which I receive from Christian men, I shall not hesitate to use all the means at my control to secure the termination of this rebellion, and will hope for success.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

Nothing valuable can be lost ...

Nothing valuable can be lost by taking time.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

You may burn my body to ashes...

You may burn my body to ashes, and scatter them to the winds of heaven; you may drag my soul down to the regions of darkness and despair to be tormented forever; but you will never get me to support a measure which I believe to be wrong, although by doing so I may accomplish that which I believe to be right.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

Our reliance is in the love of liberty which God has planted in our bosoms.

It is a pleasure to be able to quote lines to fit any occasion.

Hypocrite: The man who murdered his parents, and then pleaded for mercy on the grounds that he was an orphan.

The good old maxims of the Bible are applicable, and truly applicable to human affairs, and in this as in other things, we may say here that he who is not for us is against us; he would gathereth not with us scattereth.

Reputation is like fine china: Once broken it's very hard to repair.

Reduce the supply of black labor by colonizing the black laborer out of the country, and by precisely so much you increase the demand for and wages of white labor.
