It is better then, to save the work while it is begun. You have done the labor; maintain it - keep it. If men choose to serve you, go with them; but as you have made up your organization upon principle, stand by it; for as surely as God reigns over you, and has inspired your mind, and given you a sense of propriety, and continues to give you hope, so surely will you still cling to these ideas, and you will at last come back after your wanderings, merely to do your work over again.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

There are few things wholly e...

There are few things wholly evil or wholly good. Almost everything, especially of government policy, is an inseparable compound of the two, so that our best judgment of the preponderance between them is continually demanded.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

I soon began to dream. ... I ...

I soon began to dream. ... I heard subdued sobs, as if a number of people were weeping. ... I left my bed and wandered downstairs. ... There I met with a sickening surprise. Before me was a catafalque, on which rested a corpse wrapped in funeral vestments. Around it were stationed soldiers who were acting as guards; and there was a throng of people, gazing mournfully upon the corpse, whose face was covered, others weeping pitifully. 'Who is dead in the White House?' I demanded of one of the soldiers, 'The President,' was his answer; 'he was killed by an assassin.''

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

Again, a law may be both cons...

Again, a law may be both constitutional and expedient, and yet may be administered in an unjust and unfair way.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

I have come to the conclusion...

I have come to the conclusion never again to think of marrying, and for this reason, I can never be satisfied with anyone who would be blockhead enough to have me.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

Lonely men seek companionship...

Lonely men seek companionship. Lonely women sit at home and wait. They never meet.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

It is the quality of revolutions not to go by old lines or old laws; but to break up both, and make new ones.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

Must a government be too stro...

Must a government be too strong for the liberties of its people or too weak to maintain its own existence?

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

I am approached with the most...

I am approached with the most opposite opinions and advice, and that by religious men, who are equally certain that they represent the Divine will. I am sure that either the one or the other class is mistaken in that belief, and perhaps in some respects both.

I am a little uneasy about the abolishment of slavery in this District of Columbia.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

Upon the subject of education...

Upon the subject of education, not presuming to dictate any plan or system respecting it, I can only say that I view it as the most important subject which we as a people can be engaged in. That every man may receive at least a moderate education...appears to be an object of vital importance...

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

I believe that every individu...

I believe that every individual is naturally entitled to do as he pleases with himself and the fruits of his labor, so far as it in no way interferes with any other men's rights.

The people when rightly and fully trusted will return the trust.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

If as the friends of coloniza...

If as the friends of colonization hope, the present and coming generations of our countrymen shall by any means, succeed in freeing our land from the dangerous presence of slavery; and, at the same time, in restoring a captive people to their long-lost father-land, with bright prospects for the future; and this too, so gradually, that neither races nor individuals shall have suffered by the change, it will indeed be a glorious consummation.

It is much easier to ride a horse in the direction it is going.

It has long been recognized that the problems with alcohol relate not to the use of a bad thing, but to the abuse of a good thing.

Why don't you laugh? If I did not laugh I should die, and you need this medicine as much as I do.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

We all declare for liberty, but in using the same word we do not all mean the same thing.

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

And then, the negro being doo...

And then, the negro being doomed, and damned, and forgotten, to everlasting bondage, is the white man quite certain that the tyrant demon will not turn upon him too?

Abraham Lincoln 1446 quotes

The President responded very ...

The President responded very impressively, saying that he was deeply sensible of his need of Divine assistance. He had sometime thought that perhaps he might be an instrument in God's hands of accomplishing a great work and he certainly was not unwilling to be. Perhaps, however, God's way of accomplishing the end which the memorialists have in view may be different from theirs.
