Towering genius disdains a beaten path. It seeks regions hitherto unexplored.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

The people themselves, and not...

The people themselves, and not their servants, can safely reverse their own deliberate decisions.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

Never stir up litigation. A wo...

Never stir up litigation. A worse man can scarcely be found than one who does this.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

Hold on with a bulldog grip, a...

Hold on with a bulldog grip, and chew and choke as much as possible.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

I was losing interest in politics, when the repeal of the Missouri Compromise aroused me again. What I have done since then is pretty well known.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

Some single mind must be maste...

Some single mind must be master, else there will be no agreement in anything.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

Every man is said to have his ...

Every man is said to have his peculiar ambition. Whether it be true or not, I can say for one that I have no other so great as that of being truly esteemed of my fellow men, by rendering myself worthy of their esteem.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

The shepherd drives the wolf f...

The shepherd drives the wolf from the sheep's for which the sheep thanks the shepherd as his liberator, while the wolf denounces him for the same act as the destroyer of liberty. Plainly, the sheep and the wolf are not agreed upon a definition of liberty.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

Surely God would not have crea...

Surely God would not have created such a being as man, with an ability to grasp the infinite, to exist only for a day! No, no, man was made for immortality.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

At what point then is the appr...

At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

I desire so to conduct the aff...

I desire so to conduct the affairs of this administration that if at the end... I have lost every other friend on earth, I shall at least have one friend left, and that friend shall be down inside of me.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

Our defense is in the preserva...

Our defense is in the preservation of the spirit which prizes liberty as a heritage of all men, in all lands, everywhere. Destroy this spirit and you have planted the seeds of despotism around your own doors.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

That we we here highly resolve...

That we we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain - that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom - and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

When I am getting ready to rea...

When I am getting ready to reason with a man, I spend one-third of my time thinking about myself and what I am going to say and two-thirds about him and what he is going to say.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

The assertion that 'all men ar...

The assertion that 'all men are created equal' was of no practical use in effecting our separation from Great Britain and it was placed in the Declaration not for that, but for future use.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

It is rather for us here dedic...

It is rather for us here dedicated to the great task remaining before us, that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

In giving freedom to the slave...

In giving freedom to the slave, we assure freedom to the free - honorable alike in what we give and what we preserve. We shall nobly save, or meanly lose, the last best hope of earth.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

All the armies of Europe, Asia...

All the armies of Europe, Asia and Africa combined, with all the treasure of the earth (our own excepted) in their military chest; with a Buonaparte for a commander, could not by force, take a drink from the Ohio, or make a track on the Blue Ridge, in a trial of a thousand years.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

Of our political revolution of...

Of our political revolution of '76, we all are justly proud. It has given us a degree of political freedom, far exceeding that of any other nation of the earth. In it the world has found a solution of the long mooted problem, as to the capability of man to govern himself. In it was the germ which has vegetated, and still is to grow and expand into the universal liberty of mankind.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

All creation is a mine, and ev...

All creation is a mine, and every man a miner.
