I am naturally anti-slavery. ...

I am naturally anti-slavery. If slavery is not wrong, nothing is wrong. I can not remember when I did not so think, and feel. And yet I have never understood that the Presidency conferred upon me an unrestricted right to act officially upon this judgment and feeling.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

All my life I have tried to p...

All my life I have tried to pluck a thistle and plant a flower wherever the flower would grow in thought and mind.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

No state, upon its own mere m...

No state, upon its own mere motion, can lawfully get out of the Union. Plainly, the central idea of secession, is the essence of anarchy.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

Friends, I agree with you in ...

Friends, I agree with you in Providence; but I believe in the Providence of the most men, the largest purse, and the longest cannon.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

What constitutes the bulwark ...

What constitutes the bulwark of our own liberty and independence? It is not...the guns of our war steamers, or the strength of our gallant and disciplined army...our reliance is in the love of liberty which God has planted in our bosoms...

I belive that people should fight for what they believe and only what they believe.

. . . peace is a thing which a person must be willing to fight for . . .

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

One eighth of the whole popul...

One eighth of the whole population were colored slaves, not distributed generally over the Union, but localized in the Southern part of it. These slaves constituted a peculiar and powerful interest. All knew that this interest was, somehow, the cause of the war.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

Beware of rashness, but with ...

Beware of rashness, but with energy and sleepless vigilance go forward and give us victories.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

The legitimate object of government is to do for a community of people whatever they need to have done, but can not do at all, or can not so well do, for themselves – in their separate, and individual capacities.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

The human mind is impelled to...

The human mind is impelled to action, or held in rest by some power, over which the mind itself has no control.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

His argument is as thin as th...

His argument is as thin as the homeopathic soup that was made by oiling the shadow of a pigeon that had been starved to death.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

With malice towards none; wit...

With malice towards none; with charity for all.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

The Government should create,...

The Government should create, issue, and circulate all the currency and credits needed to satisfy the spending power of the Government and the buying power of consumers. By the adoption of these principles, the taxpayers will be saved immense sums of interest. Money will cease to be master and become the servant of humanity.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

A man has not the time to spe...

A man has not the time to spend half his life in quarrels. If any man ceases to attack me, I never remember the past against him.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

The will of God prevails. In ...

The will of God prevails. In great contests each party claims to act in accordance with the will of God. Both may be, and one must be, wrong. God cannot be for and against the same thing at the same time. In the present civil war it is quite possible that God's purpose is something different from the purpose of either party - and yet the human instrumentalities, working just as they do, are of the best adaptation to effect His purpose.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

The better part of one's life...

The better part of one's life consists of his friendships.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

I expect to maintain this contest until successful, or till I die, or am conquered, or my term expires, or Congress or the country forsakes me.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

We hope all danger may be ove...

We hope all danger may be overcome; but to conclude that no danger may ever arise would itself be extremely dangerous.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

Life may not always be a bed ...

Life may not always be a bed of roses. All of us are aware of this fact. There are numerous times in life when we have to face disappointments. These quotes and sayings surely do inspire and help us to look forward and enjoy the new pathways coming our way. These quotes also lend a different perspective to life, which makes moving forward not a very difficult task.I hope to stand firm enough to not go backward, and yet not go forward fast enough to wreck the country's cause.
