I have never studied the art ...

I have never studied the art of paying compliments to women; but I must say that if all that has been said by orators and poets since the creation of the world in praise of women were applied to the women of America, it would not do them justice for their conduct during this war.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

It will not do to investigate...

It will not do to investigate the subject of religion too closely, as it is apt to lead to infidelity.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

Think of strangers as friends...

Think of strangers as friends you not met yet.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

I fear you do not fully compr...

I fear you do not fully comprehend the danger of abridging the liberties of the people. Nothing but the sternest necessity can ever justify it. A government had better go to the extreme of toleration, than to do aught that could be construed into an interference with, or to jeopardize in any degree, the common rights of its citizens.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

Adhere to your purpose and yo...

Adhere to your purpose and you will soon feel as well as you ever did. On the contrary, if you falter, and give up, you will lose the power of keeping any resolution, and will regret it all your life.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

Now I confess myself as belonging to that class in the country who contemplate slavery as a moral, social and political evil.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

My old father used to have a saying: If you make a bad bargain, hug it all the tighter.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

Bad promises are better broke...

Bad promises are better broken than kept.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

...I do not mean to say that ...

...I do not mean to say that this general government is charged with the duty of redressing or preventing all the wrongs in the world; but I do think that it is charged with the duty of preventing and redressing all wrongs which are wrongs to itself.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

The Democracy of to-day hold ...

The Democracy of to-day hold the liberty of one man to be absolutely nothing, when in conflict with another mans right of property. Republicans, on the contrary, are for both the man and the dollar; but in cases of conflict, the man before the dollar.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

I claim not to have controlled events, but confess plainly that events have controlled me.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

Fondly do we hope, ferverently do we pray, that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

For it has been said, all that a man hath will he give for his life; and while all contribute of their substance the soldier puts his life at stake, and often yields it up in his country's cause. The highest merit, then is due to the soldier.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

no man who is resolved to mak...

no man who is resolved to make the most of himself can spare time for personal contention, still less can he afford to take the consequences, including the vitiation of his temper and the loss of self control, yield to larger things to which you show no more than equal rights, and yield to lesser ones though clearly your own, better give your path to a dog, than be bitten by him in contesting for the right, not even killing the dog, will cure the bite

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

I hold that while a man exists, it is his duty to improve not only his own condition, but to assist in ameliorating mankind.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

I have endured a great deal of ridicule without much malice; and have received a great deal of kindness, not quite free from ridicule. I am used to it.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

Writing, the art of communicating thoughts to the mind through the eye, is the great invention of the world.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

Without Divine assistance I can not succeed; with it I can not fail.

if you want your name to be remembered after your death either do something worth writing or write some thing worth reading
