If you would win a man to you...

If you would win a man to your cause, first convince him that you are his sincere friend.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

I have not permitted myself, ...

I have not permitted myself, gentlemen, to conclude that I am the best man in the country; but I am reminded, in this connection, of a story of an old Dutch farmer, who remarked to a companion once that "it was not best to swap horses when crossing streams."

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

Many free countries have lost...

Many free countries have lost their liberty, and ours may lose hers; but, if she shall, be it my proudest plume, not that I was the last to desert, but that I never deserted her.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

Get books, sit yourself down ...

Get books, sit yourself down anywhere, and go to reading them yourself.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

One company can serve some of...

One company can serve some of your needs all of the time, or all of your needs some of the time, but never both.

I could write shorter sermons but when I get started I'm too lazy to stop

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

I never encourage deceit, and...

I never encourage deceit, and falsehood, especially if you have got a bad memory, is the worst enemy a fellow can have. The fact is truth is your truest friend, no matter what the circumstances are.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

We, on our side, are praying ...

We, on our side, are praying to Him to give us victory, because we believe we are right; but those on the other side pray to Him, look for victory, believing they are right. What must He think of us?

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

I know there is a God, and th...

I know there is a God, and that He hates injustice and slavery. I see the storm coming, and I know that his hand is in it. If He has a place and work for me - and I think He has - I believe I am ready.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

Young man, if God gives me fo...

Young man, if God gives me four years more to rule this country, I believe it will become what it ought to be-what its Divine Author intended it to be-no longer one vast plantation for breeding human beings for the purpose of lust and bondage. But it will become a new Valley of Jehoshaphat, where all the nations of the earth will assemble together under one flag, worshipping a common God, and they will celebrate the resurrection of human freedom.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

We must work earnestly in the...

We must work earnestly in the best light He gives us.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

Such will be a great lesson o...

Such will be a great lesson of peace: teaching men that what they cannot take by an election, neither can they take it by war.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

I could not sleep when I got ...

I could not sleep when I got on such a hunt for an idea until I had caught it; ...This was a kind of passion with me, and it has stuck by me; for I am never easy now, when I am handling a thought, till I have bounded it north, and bounded it south, and bounded it east, and bounded it west.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

Our political problem now is,...

Our political problem now is, "Can we as a nation continue together permanently - forever - half slave and half free?"

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

A good, real, unrestrained, h...

A good, real, unrestrained, hearty laugh is a sort of glorified internal massage, performed rapidly and automatically. It manipulates and revitalizes corners and unexplored crannies of the system that are unresponsive to most other exercise methods. With the fearful strain that is on me night and day, if I did not laugh I should die.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

The only person who is a wors...

The only person who is a worse liar than a faith healer is his patient.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

In a certain sense, and to a ...

In a certain sense, and to a certain extent, he [the president] is the representative of the people. He is elected by them, as well as congress is. But can he, in the nature [of] things, know the wants of the people, as well as three hundred other men, coming from all the various localities of the nation? If so, where is the propriety of having a congress?

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

Intoxicated with unbroken suc...

Intoxicated with unbroken success, we have become too self sufficient to feel the necessity of redeeming and preserving grace, too proud to pray to the God that made us.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

I believe the Bible is the best gift God has ever given to man.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

When any church will inscribe...

When any church will inscribe over its altar, as its sole qualification for membership, the Savior's condensed statement of the substance of both law and Gospel, 'Thou shalt love the lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul and thy neighbor as thyself' that church will I join with all my heart and all my soul.
