Text Quotes
As an individual who undertakes to live by borrowing, soon finds his original means devoured by interest, and next no one left to borrow from, so must it be with a government  (Abraham Lincoln Quotes) I have always wanted to deal with everyone I meet candidly and honestly. If I have made any assertion not warranted by facts, and it is pointed out to me, I will withdraw it cheerfully  (Abraham Lincoln Quotes) Die when I may, I want it said of me by those who knew me best, that I always plucked a thistle and planted a flower where I thought a flower would grow  (Abraham Lincoln Quotes) 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 Quotes) These capitalists generally act harmoniously and in concert to fleece the people, and now that they have got into a quarrel with themselves, we are called upon to appropriate the people's money to settle the quarrel  (Abraham Lincoln Quotes) 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 Quotes) This country, with it's 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) The ant, who has toiled and dragged a crumb to his nest, will furiously defend the fruit of his labor, against whatever robber assails him. So plain, that the most dumb and stupid slave that ever toiled for a master, does constantly know that he is wronged. So plain that no one, high or low, ever does mistake it, except in a plainly selfish way; for although volume upon volume is written to prove slavery a very good thing, we never hear of the man who wishes to take the good of it, by being a slave himself  (Abraham Lincoln Quotes) When you return to your homes rise up to the height of a generation of men worthy of a free Government, and we will carry out the great work we have commenced. I return to you my sincere thanks, soldiers, for the honor you have done me this afternoon  (Abraham Lincoln 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 don't believe in a law to prevent a man from getting rich; it would do more harm than good  (Abraham Lincoln Quotes) When the white man governs himself, that is self-government; but when he governs himself and also governs another man, that is more than self-government - that is despotism  (Abraham Lincoln Quotes) There’s no honorable way to kill, no gentle way to destroy. There is nothing good in war. Except its ending  (Abraham Lincoln Quotes) Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt  (Abraham Lincoln Quotes) Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe  (Abraham Lincoln Quotes) I believe the declaration that ‘all men are created equal’ is the great fundamental principle upon which our free institutions rest  (Abraham Lincoln Quotes) If there is anything which it is the duty of the whole people to never entrust to any hands but their own, that thing is the preservation and perpetuity of their own liberties and institutions  (Abraham Lincoln Quotes) Teach economy. That is one of the first and highest virtues. It begins with saving money  (Abraham Lincoln Quotes) This human struggle and scramble for office, for a way to live without work, will finally test the strength of our institutions  (Abraham Lincoln Quotes) As a general rule, I abstain from reading reports of attacks upon myself, wishing not to be provoked by that to which I cannot properly offer an answer  (Abraham Lincoln Quotes) Singular indeed the people should be writhing under oppression and injury, and yet not one among them to be found, to raise the voice of complaint  (Abraham Lincoln Quotes) I fear you do not fully comprehend the danger of abridging the liberties of the people. Nothing but the sternest necessity can ever justify it. A government had better go to the extreme of toleration, than to do aught that could be construed into an interference with, or to jeopardize in any degree, the common rights of its citizens  (Abraham Lincoln Quotes) A statesman is he who thinks in the future generations, and a politician is he who thinks in the upcoming elections  (Abraham Lincoln Quotes) Well, I suppose you know that men will stand a good deal when they are flattered  (Abraham Lincoln Quotes) I never encourage deceit, and falsehood, especially if you have got a bad memory, is the worst enemy a fellow can have. The fact is truth is your truest friend, no matter what the circumstances are  (Abraham Lincoln Quotes) If we have no friends, we have no pleasure; and if we have them, we are sure to lose them, and be doubly pained by the loss  (Abraham Lincoln Quotes) I believe I shall never be old enough to speak without embarrassment when I have nothing to talk about  (Abraham Lincoln Quotes) Great distance in either time or space has wonderful power to lull and render quiescent the human mind  (Abraham Lincoln Quotes) There is something so ludicrous in promises of good or threats of evil a great way off as to render the whole subject with which they are connected easily turned into ridicule  (Abraham Lincoln Quotes) Many free countries have lost their liberty, and ours may lose hers; but, if she shall, be it my proudest plume, not that I was the last to desert, but that I never deserted her  (Abraham Lincoln Quotes) The world shall know that I will keep my faith to friends and enemies, come what will  (Abraham Lincoln Quotes)
