It has been said that one bad general is better than two good ones, and the saying is true if taken to mean no more than that an army is better directed by a single mind, though inferior, than by two superior ones at variance and cross-purposes with each other.

I destroy my enemy if I make him my friend.

Moral principle is a looser bond than pecuniary interest.

This is a world of compensations; and he who would be no slave, must consent to have no slave.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

I am for the people of the whole nation doing just as they please in all matters which concern the whole nation; for that of each part doing just as they choose in all matters which concern no other part; and for each individual doing just as he chooses in all matters which concern nobody else.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

We think slavery a great moral wrong, and while we do not claim the right to touch it where it exists, we wish to treat it as a wrong in the territories, where our votes will reach it.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

We cannot ask a man what he w...

We cannot ask a man what he will do, and if we should, and he should answer us, we should despise him for it. Therefore we must take a man whose opinions are known.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

Slavery is wrong. If Slavery ...

Slavery is wrong. If Slavery is right, all words, acts, laws, and Constitutions against it, are themselves wrong, and should be silenced, and swept away.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

What I want is to get done what the people desire to have done, and the question for me is how to find that out exactly.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

I wish all men to be free. I wish the material prosperity of the already free which I feel sure the extinction of slavery would bring.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

And by virtue of the power, and for the purpose aforesaid, I do order and declare that all persons held as slaves within said designated States, and parts of States, are, and henceforward shall be free; and that the Executive government of the United States, including the military and naval authorities thereof, will recognize and maintain the freedom of said persons.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

I have always thought that al...

I have always thought that all men should be free; but if any should be slaves, it should be first those who desire for themselves, and secondly those who desire it for others. Whenever I hear anyone arguing for slavery, I feel a strong impulse to see it tried on him personally.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

And I am glad to know that th...

And I am glad to know that there is a system of labor - where the laborer can strike if he wants to! I would to God that such a system prevailed all over the world.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

I take it that it is best for all to leave each man free to acquire property as fast as he can. Some will get wealthy. I dont believe in a law to prevent a man from getting rich; it would do more harm than good.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

If the union of these States,...

If the union of these States, and the liberties of this people, shall be lost, it is but little to any one man of fifty-two yearsof age, but a great deal to the thirty millions of people who inhabit these United States, and to their posterity in all coming time.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

My faith in the proposition that each man should do precisely as he pleases with all which is exclusively his own lies at the foundation of the sense of justice there is in me.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

Extemporaneous speaking should be practised and cultivated. It is the lawyer's avenue to the public.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

If a man will stand up and assert, and repeat and re-assert, that two and two do not make four, I know nothing in the power of argument that can stop him.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

He who does something at the head of one Regiment, will eclipse him who does nothing at the head of a hundred.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

Much is being said about peace; and no man desires peace more ardently than I. Still I am yet unprepared to give up the Union fora peace which, so achieved, could not be of much duration.
