The Union is much older than the Constitution. It was formed in fact, by the Articles of Association in 1774. It was matured and continued by the Declaration of Independence in 1776.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

I would save the Union. I woul...

I would save the Union. I would save it the shortest way under the Constitution. The sooner the national authority can be restored; the nearer the Union will be 'the Union as it was'.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

Fellow-citizens, we cannot esc...

Fellow-citizens, we cannot escape history. We of this Congress and this administration, will be remembered in spite of ourselves. No personal significance, or insignificance, can spare one or another of us. The fiery trial through which we pass, will light us down, in honor or dishonor, to the latest generation.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

I cannot make it better known than it already is that I strongly favor colonization.

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.

You are ambitious, which, within reasonable bounds, does good rather than harm.

I would like to speak in terms of praise due to the many brave officers and soldiers who have fought in the cause of the war.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

I freely acknowledge myself the servant of the people, according to the bond of service - the United States Constitution; and that, as such, I am responsible to them.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

You dislike the emancipation proclamation; and, perhaps, would have it retracted. You say it is unconstitutional - I think differently.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

But the proclamation, as law, ...

But the proclamation, as law, either is valid, or is not valid. If it is not valid, it needs no retraction. If it is valid, it can not be retracted, any more than the dead can be brought to life.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

Peace does not appear so distant as it did. I hope it will come soon, and come to stay; and so come as to be worth the keeping in all future time.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

You say you will not fight to ...

You say you will not fight to free negroes. Some of them seem willing to fight for you; but, no matter. Fight you, then exclusively to save the Union.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

And then, there will be some black men who can remember that, with silent tongue, and clenched teeth, and steady eye, and well-poised bayonnet, they have helped mankind on to this great consummation...

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

We all declare for liberty; bu...

We all declare for liberty; but in using the same word we do not all mean the same thing. With some the word liberty may mean for each man to do as he pleases with himself, and the product of his labor; while with others, the same word many mean for some men to do as they please with other men, and the product of other men's labor. Here are two, not only different, but incompatible things, called by the same name - liberty. And it follows that each of the things is, by the respective parties, called by two different an

It is not merely for to-day, but for all time to come that we should perpetuate for our children's children this great and free government, which we have enjoyed all our lives.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

I am greatly obliged to you, and to all who have come forward at the call of their country.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

There is more involved in this contest than is realized by every one. There is involved in this struggle the question whether your children and my children shall enjoy the privileges we have enjoyed.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

We have, as all will agree, a ...

We have, as all will agree, a free Government, where every man has a right to be equal with every other man. In this great struggle, this form of Government and every form of human right is endangered if our enemies succeed.

I happen temporarily to occupy this big White House. I am living witness that any one of your children may look to come here as my father's child has.
