“When you reach the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on”

Abraham Lincoln

“in times like the present, men should utter nothing for which they would not willingly be responsible through time and eternity.”

Abraham Lincoln

“All that I am or ever hope to be, I owe to my angel mother.”

Abraham Lincoln

“You may deceive all the people part of the time, and part of the people all the time, but not all the people all the time.”

Abraham Lincoln

“I don't like that man. I must get to know him better.”

Abraham Lincoln

“Judge not, that ye be not judged.”

Abraham Lincoln

“The world has never had a good definition of the word liberty, and the American people, just now, are much in want of one. 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 may 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 and incompatible names, liberty and tyranny. The shepherd drives the wolf from the sheep’s throat, for which the sheep thanks the shepherd as a liberator, while the wolf denounces him for the same act as the destroyer of liberty, especially as the sheep was a black one. Plainly the sheep and the wolf are not agreed upon a definition of the word liberty.”

Abraham Lincoln

“Fondly do we hope, fervently do we pray, that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away. Yet, if God wills that this continue until all the wealth piled by the bondsman's two hundred and fifty years of unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be paid by another drawn with the sword, as was said three thousand years ago, so still it must be said, 'The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.”

Abraham Lincoln

“We shall need all the anti-slavery feeling in the country, and more; you can go home and try to bring the people to your views, and you may say anything you like about me, if that will help... When the hour comes for dealing with slavery, I trust I will be willing to do my duty though it cost my life.”

Abraham Lincoln

“The probability that we may fail in the struggle ought not to deter us from the support of a cause we believe to be just.”

Abraham Lincoln

“The best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time.”

Abraham Lincoln

“The most altruistic man is the most selfish.”

Abraham Lincoln

“The greatest fine art of the future will be the making of a comfortable living from a small piece of land.”

Abraham Lincoln

“I have destroyed my enemies when I make friends with them”

Abraham Lincoln

“I consider the central idea pervading this struggle is the necessity that is upon us, of proving that popular govenment is not an absurdity. We must settle this question now, whether in a free government the minority have the right to break up the govenment whenever they choose. If we fail it will go far to prove the incapability of the people to govern themselves.”
