Text Quotes
Upon the subject of education ... I can only say that I view it as the most important subject which we as a people may be engaged in.  (Abraham Lincoln Quotes) I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live by the light that I have. I must stand with anybody that stands right, and stand with him while he is right, and part with him when he goes wrong.  (Abraham Lincoln Quotes) I go for all sharing the privileges of the government, who assist in bearing its burdens. Consequently, I go for admitting all whites to the right of suffrage, who pay taxes or bear arms (by no means excluding females).  (Abraham Lincoln Quotes) Towering genius disdains a beaten path ... It scorns to tread in the footsteps of any predecessor, however illustrious. It thirsts for distinction.  (Abraham Lincoln Quotes) Discourage litigation. Persuade your neighbors to compromise whenever you can. As a peacemaker the lawyer has superior opportunity of being a good man. There will still be business enough.  (Abraham Lincoln Quotes) 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 Quotes) Being elected to Congress, though I am very grateful to our friends for having done it, has not pleased me as much as I expected.  (Abraham Lincoln Quotes) In times like the present, men should utter nothing for which they would not willingly be responsible through time and eternity.  (Abraham Lincoln 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 Quotes) In regard to this Great Book, I have but to say, it is the best gift God has given to man  (Abraham Lincoln Quotes) Gold is good in its place, but living, brave, patriotic men are better than gold  (Abraham Lincoln Quotes) Better to remain silent and thought a fool, than to speak out and confirm that you didn’t do the assigned readings before the strategic planning retreat.  (Abraham Lincoln Quotes) 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 Quotes) Every blade of grass is a study; and to produce two, where there was but one, is both a profit and a pleasure.  (Abraham Lincoln Quotes) In my view of the present aspect of affairs, there is no need of bloodshed and war. There is no necessity for it. I am not in favor of such a course, and I may say in advance, there will be no blood shed unless it be forced upon the government. The government will not use force unless force is used against it.  (Abraham Lincoln Quotes) It is a quality of revolutions not to go by old lines or old laws, but to break up both and make new ones.  (Abraham Lincoln Quotes) I am like a man so busy in letting rooms in one end of his house, that he can’t stop to put out the fire that is burning the other.  (Abraham Lincoln Quotes) I understand a ship to be made for the carrying and preservation of the cargo, and so long as the ship can be saved, with the cargo, it should never be abandoned. This Union likewise should never be abandoned unless it fails and the possibility of its preservation shall cease to exist, without throwing passengers and cargo overboard.  (Abraham Lincoln Quotes) The man who could go to Africa and rob her of her children, and then sell them into interminable bondage, with no other motive than that which is furnished by dollars and cents, is so much worse than the most depraved murderer that he can never receive pardon at my hand.  (Abraham Lincoln Quotes) Allow the president to invade a neighboring nation whenever he shall deem it necessary to repel an invasion,and you allow him to do so whenever he may choose to say he deems it necessary for such purpose - and you allow him to make war at pleasure.  (Abraham Lincoln Quotes) That I am not a member of any Christian church is true; but I have never denied the truth of the Scriptures, and I have never spoken with intentional disrespect of religion in general, or of any denomination of Christians in particular.  (Abraham Lincoln Quotes) Cling to liberty and right; battle fro them; leed for them; die for them, if need be; and have confidence in God.  (Abraham Lincoln Quotes) This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it. Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing government, they can exercise their constitutional right of amending it, or exercise their revolutionary right to overthrow it.  (Abraham Lincoln Quotes) If by the mere force of numbers a majority should deprive a minority of any clearly written constitutional right, it might, in a moral point of view, justify revolution.  (Abraham Lincoln Quotes) I dared not trust the case on the presumption that the court knows everything. In fact, I argued it on the presumption that the court didn’t know anything.  (Abraham Lincoln Quotes) I am humble Abraham Lincoln. I have been solicited by my friends to become a candidate for the Legislature. My politics are short and sweet, like the old woman’s dance.  (Abraham Lincoln Quotes) Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves; and under the rule of a just God, cannot long retain it.  (Abraham Lincoln Quotes) He who would be no slave must consent to have no slave. Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves and, under a just God, cannot long retain it.  (Abraham Lincoln Quotes) For my part, I desire to see the time when education - and by its means, morality, sobriety, enterprise and industry - shall become much more general than at present, and should be gratified to have it in my power to contribute something to the advancement of any measure which might have a tendency to accelerate the happy period.  (Abraham Lincoln Quotes) 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 Quotes)
