“Military glory--that attractive rainbow, that rises in showers of blood--that serpent's eye, that charms to destroy...”

Abraham Lincoln

“I have been driven many times to my knees by the overwhelming conviction that I had nowhere else to go.”

Abraham Lincoln

“The will of God prevails. In great contests each party claims to act in accordance with the will of God. Both *may* be, and one *must* be, wrong. God cannot be *for* and *against* the same thing at the same time. In the present civil war it is quite possible that God's purpose is something different from the purpose of either party - and yet the human instrumentalities, working just as they do, are of the best adaption to effect His purpose. I am almost ready to say that this is probably true - that God wills this contest, and wills that it shall not end yet. By His mere great power, on the minds of the now contestants, He could have either *saved* or *destroyed* the Union without human contest. Yet the contest began, And, having begun He could give the final victory to either side any day. Yet the contest proceeds.”

Abraham Lincoln

“Tis better people think you a fool, then open your mouth and erase all doubt.”

Abraham Lincoln

“I laugh because I must not cry, that is all, that is all. ”

Abraham Lincoln

“When you have got an elephant by the hind legs and he is trying to run away. it's best to let him run"

“Folks are usually about as happy as they make their minds up to be.”

Abraham Lincoln

“Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any one thing.”

Abraham Lincoln

“No man is good enough to govern another man without that other’s consent.”

Abraham Lincoln

“If this is coffee, please bring me some tea; but if this is tea, please bring me some coffee.”

Abraham Lincoln

“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 is mistaken in that belief, and perhaps in some respects both. I hope it will not be irreverent for me to say that if it is probable that God would reveal his will to others, on a point so connected with my duty, it might be supposed he would reveal it directly to me; for, unless I am more deceived in myself than I often am, it is my earnest desire to know the will of Providence in this matter. And if I can learn what it is, I will do it! These are not, however, the days of miracles, and I suppose it will be granted that I am not to expect a direct revelation. I must study the plain, physical facts of the case, ascertain what is possible and learn what appears to be wise and right.”

Abraham Lincoln

“If you would win a man to your cause, first convince him that you are his sincere friend.”

Abraham Lincoln

“I will, to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. It is not the Constitution as I would like to have it, but as it is, that is to be defended. The Constitution will not be preserved & defended until it is enforced & obeyed in every part of every one of the United States. It must be so respected, obeyed, enforced and defended, and let the grass grow where it may.”

Abraham Lincoln

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

Abraham Lincoln

“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 up to what light I have.”
