I fear explanations explanatory of things explained.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

It is to deny, what the history of the world tells us is true, to suppose that men of ambition and talents will not continue to spring up amongst us. And, when they do, they will as naturally seek the gratification of their ruling passion, as others have so done before them.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

We hoped for a happy terminat...

We hoped for a happy termination of this terrible war long before this; but God knows best, and has ruled otherwise. We shall yet acknowledge His wisdom and our own error therein.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

I have no purpose to introduc...

I have no purpose to introduce political and social equality between the white and black races. There is physical difference between the two which, in my judgment, will probably forever forbid their living together upon the footing of perfect equality, and inasmuch as it becomes a necessity that there must be a difference, I, as well as Judge Douglas, am in favor of the race to which I belong having the superior position.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

If I care to listen to every criticism, let alone act on them, then this shop may as well be closed for all other businesses. I have learned to do my best, and if the end result is good then I do not care for any criticism, but if the end result is not good, then even the praise of ten angels would not make the difference.

I have two great enemies, the Southern Army in front of me and the bankers in the rear. Of the two, the one at my rear is my greatest foe.

On the whole, my impression is that mercy bears richer fruits than any other attribute.

Teach economy. That is one of the first and highest virtues. It begins with saving money.

Character is the tree, reputation is the shadow.

I am rather inclined to silence, and whether that be wise or not, it is at least more unusual nowadays to find a man who can hold his tongue than to find one who cannot.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

Wanting to work is so rare a merit, that it should be encouraged.

I am in favor of animal rights as well as human rights. That is the way of a whole human being.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

As we keep or break the Sabbath Day we nobly save or meanly lose the last best hope by which man rises.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

Well, I wish some of you would tell me the brand of whiskey that Grant drinks. I would like to send a barrel of it to my other generals.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

Whereas, the Senate of the United States, devoutly recognizing the Supreme Authority and just Government of Almighty God, in all the affairs of men and of nations, has, by a resolution, requested the President to designate and set apart a day for National prayer and humiliation.

Our progress in degeneracy appears to me to be pretty rapid.

If frienship is your weakest point then you are the strongest person in the world.

It is most cheering and encouraging for me to know that in the efforts which I have made and am making for the restoration of a righteous peace to our country, I am upheld and sustained by the good wishes and prayers of God's people. No one is more deeply than myself aware that without His favor our highest wisdom is but as foolishness and that our most strenuous efforts would avail nothing in the shadow of His displeasure.

Never do anything for anyone who can just as well do it themself

I trust that as He shall further open the way, I will be ready to walk therein, relying on His help and trusting in His goodness and wisdom.
