Abraham Lincoln Freedom Quote

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

Abraham Lincoln Hard Work Quote

Oh, yes; you Virginians shed barrels of perspiration while standing off at a distance and superintending the work your slaves do for you. It is different with us. Here it is every fellow for himself, or he doesn't get there.

Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln Faith Quote

I go to assume a task more difficult than that which devolved upon Washington. Unless the great God, who assisted him, shall be with me and aid me, I must fail; but if the same omniscient mind and almighty arm that directed and protected him shall guide and support me, I shall not fail - I shall succeed.

Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln Capital Punishment Quote

If a man had more than one life, I think a little hanging would not hurt this one; but after he is once dead, we cannot bring him back, no matter how sorry we may be; so the boy shall be pardoned.

Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln Patriotism Quote

True patriotism is better than the wrong kind of piety.

Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln Nationalism Quote

I know that the Lord is always on the side of the right; but it is my constant anxiety and prayer that I and this nation may be on the Lord's side.

Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln Government Quote

That our government should have been maintained in its original form from its establishment until now is not much to be wondered at. It had many props to support it through that period, which now are decayed and crumbled away. Through that period, it was felt by all to be an undecided experiment; now, it is understood to be a successful one.

Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln Independence Quote

It was that which gave promise that in due time the weights should be lifted from the shoulders of all men, and that all should have an equal chance. This is the sentiment embodied in that Declaration of Independence.

Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln Self-Government Quote

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

Abraham Lincoln Institution Quote

When Southern people tell us they are no more responsible for the origin of slavery than we are, I acknowledge the fact. When it is said that the institution exists, and that it is very difficult to get rid of it in any satisfactory way, I can understand and appreciate the saying.

Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln Morality Quote

Repeal the Missouri Compromise - repeal all compromises - repeal the Declaration of Independence - repeal all past history, you still cannot repeal human nature. It will be the abundance of man's heart that slavery extension is wrong; and out of the abundance of his heart, his mouth will continue to speak.

Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln Diplomacy Quote

To the best of my judgment, I have labored for, and not against, the Union. As I have not felt, so I have not expressed any harsh sentiment towards our Southern brethren. I have constantly declared, as I really believed, the only difference between them and us is the difference of circumstances.

Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln Legal Rights Quote

The legal right of the Southern people to reclaim their fugitives I have constantly admitted. The legal right of Congress to interfere with their institution in the states, I have constantly denied.

Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln Polygamy Quote

If the people of Utah shall peacefully form a State Constitution tolerating polygamy, will the Democracy admit them into the Union?

Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln Citizenship Quote

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

Abraham Lincoln Democrats Quote

If there should prove to be one real, living Free State Democrat in Kansas, I suggest that it might be well to catch him and stuff and preserve his skin as an interesting specimen of that soon-to-be-extinct variety of the genus Democrat.

Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln Rights Quote

The people know their rights, and they are never slow to assert and maintain them when they are invaded.

Abraham Lincoln

We think the Dred Scott decision is erroneous. We know the court that made it has often overruled its own decisions, and we shall do what we can to have it overrule this.

Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln Human Nature Quote

I believe it is universally understood and acknowledged that all men will ever act correctly, unless they have a motive to do otherwise.

Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln Slavery Quote

Our Declaration of Independence was held sacred by all and thought to include all; but now, to aid in making the bondage of the Negro universal and eternal, it is assailed, sneered at, construed, hawked at, and torn, till, if its framers could rise from their graves, they could not at all recognize it.

Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln Enforcement Quote

Let reverence for the laws be breathed by every American mother to the lisping babe that prattles on her lap - let it be taught in schools, in seminaries, and in colleges; let it be written in primers, spelling books, and in almanacs; let it be preached from the pulpit, proclaimed in legislative halls, and enforced in courts of justice.

Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln Union Quote

I do not expect the Union to be dissolved - I do not expect the house to fall - but I do expect it will cease to be divided. It will become all one thing, or all the other.

Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln Extinction Quote

Either the opponents of slavery will arrest the further spread of it and place it where the public mind shall rest in the belief that it is in course of ultimate extinction, or its advocates will push it forward, till it shall become alike lawful in all the States - old as well as new - North as well as South.

Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln Amendment Quote

Why was the amendment, expressly declaring the right of the people to exclude slavery, voted down? Plainly enough now, the adoption of it would have spoiled the niche for the Dred Scott decision.

Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln Opposition Quote

'A living dog is better than a dead lion.' Judge Douglas, if not a dead lion for this work, is at least a caged and toothless one. How can he oppose the advances of slavery? He don't care anything about it.

Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln Inclination Quote

I have said a hundred times, and I have no inclination to take it back, that I believe there is no right, and ought to be no inclination in the people of the free States to enter into the slave States, and to interfere with the question of slavery at all. I have said that always.

Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln Equality Quote

I should like to know if, taking this old Declaration of Independence, which declares that all men are equal upon principle, you begin making exceptions to it, where will you stop? If one man says it does not mean a Negro, why not another say it does not mean some other man?

Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln Perspective Quote

I can express all my views on the slavery question by quotations from Henry Clay.

Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln Grievance Quote

There is no grievance that is a fit object of redress by mob law.

Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln Annexation Quote

I perhaps ought to say that individually I never was much interested in the Texas question. I never could see much good to come of annexation, inasmuch as they were already a free republican people on our own model.

Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln Historical Legacy Quote

Fellow citizens, we cannot escape history. We, of this Congress and this administration, will be remembered in spite of ourselves. No personal significance, or insignificance, can spare one or another of us. The fiery trial through which we pass will light us down in honor or dishonor, to the latest generation.

Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln Early Life Quote

It is a great piece of folly to attempt to make anything out of my early life.

Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln Expansion Of Slavery Quote

Whether slavery shall go into Nebraska, or other new territories, is not a matter of exclusive concern to the people who may go there. The whole nation is interested that the best use shall be made of these territories. We want them for the homes of free white people.

Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln Social Status Quote

My parents were both born in Virginia, of undistinguished families - second families, perhaps I should say.

Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln Preservation Of The Union Quote

My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave, I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone, I would also do that.

Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln Simplicity Quote

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

Abraham Lincoln Sorrow Quote

In this sad world of ours, sorrow comes to all; and to the young, it comes with bitterest agony because it takes them unawares. I have had experience enough to know what I say.

Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln Political System Quote

We find ourselves under the government of a system of political institutions, conducing more essentially to the ends of civil and religious liberty, than any of which the history of former times tells us.

Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln Illinois Quote

Illinois surpasses every other spot of equal extent upon the face of the globe in fertility of soil and in the proportionable amount of the same which is sufficiently level for actual cultivation.

Abraham Lincoln

Nothing new here, except my marrying, which to me is a matter of profound wonder.

Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln Biographies Quote

Biographies, as generally written, are not only misleading but false... In most instances, they commemorate a lie and cheat posterity out of the truth.

Abraham Lincoln Division Quote

I believe this government cannot endure permanently, half slave and half free.

Among the friends of Union, there is great diversity of sentiment and of policy in regard to slavery and the African race among us.

Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln Humility Quote

I was born and have ever remained in the most humble walks of life.

Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln Courage Quote

If ever I feel the soul within me elevate and expand to those dimensions not wholly unworthy of its Almighty Architect, it is when I contemplate the cause of my country, deserted by all the world beside, and I standing up boldly and lone and hurling defiance at her victorious oppressors.

Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln Commitment Quote

The leading rule for the lawyer, as for the man of every calling, is diligence.

Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln Public Speaking Quote

Extemporaneous speaking should be practiced and cultivated. It is the lawyer's avenue to the public. However able and faithful he may be in other respects, people are slow to bring him business if he cannot make a speech.

Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln Public Policy Quote

No policy that does not rest upon some philosophical public opinion can be permanently maintained.

Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln Work Ethic Quote

You may think it was a very little thing, and in these days it seems to me like a trifle, but it was a most important incident in my life. I could scarcely credit that I, the poor boy, had earned a dollar in less than a day; that by honest work, I had earned a dollar. I was a more hopeful and thoughtful boy from that time.

Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln Education Quote

I never went to school more than six months in my life, but I can say this: that among my earliest recollections, I remember how, when a mere child, I used to get irritated when anybody talked to me in a way I could not understand.

Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln Greatness Quote

I have talked with great men, and I do not see how they differ from others.

Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln Gratitude Quote

It is with your aid, as the people, that I think we shall be able to preserve - not the country, for the country will preserve itself, but the institutions of the country - those institutions which have made us free, intelligent and happy - the most free, the most intelligent, and the happiest people on the globe.

Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln Importance Quote

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.

Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln Union Quote

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

Abraham Lincoln Open-Mindedness Quote

Upon the subjects of which I have treated, I have spoken as I have thought. I may be wrong in regard to any or all of them; but, holding it a sound maxim that it is better only sometimes to be right than at all times to be wrong, so soon as I discover my opinions to be erroneous, I shall be ready to renounce them.

Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln Peace Quote

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

Abraham Lincoln Love Quote

Whatever woman may cast her lot with mine, should any ever do so, it is my intention to do all in my power to make her happy and contented; and there is nothing I can imagine that would make me more unhappy than to fail in the effort.

Abraham Lincoln Writing Quote

Never regret what you don't write.

Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln Sovereignty Quote

By what principle of original right is it that one-fiftieth or one-ninetieth of a great nation, by calling themselves a State, have the right to break up and ruin that nation as a matter of original principle?

Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln Government Quote

The people will save their government, if the government itself will allow them.

Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln Oppression Quote

It is not my nature, when I see a people borne down by the weight of their shackles - the oppression of tyranny - to make their life more bitter by heaping upon them greater burdens; but rather would I do all in my power to raise the yoke than to add anything that would tend to crush them.

Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln Responsibility Quote

Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln American Geography Quote

All the armies of Europe, Asia and Africa combined, with all the treasure of the earth (our own excepted) in their military chest; with a Buonaparte for a commander, could not by force, take a drink from the Ohio, or make a track on the Blue Ridge, in a trial of a thousand years.

Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln Patriotism Quote

It is rather for us here dedicated to the great task remaining before us, that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion.

Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln Childhood Quote

My father... removed from Kentucky to... Indiana, in my eighth year... It was a wild region, with many bears and other wild animals still in the woods. There I grew up... Of course when I came of age, I did not know much. Still somehow, I could read, write, and cipher... but that was all.

Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln Labor Quote

Labor is prior to, and independent of, capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration.

The shepherd drives the wolf from the sheep's throat, for which the sheep thanks the shepherd as his liberator, while the wolf denounces him for the same act as the destroyer of liberty. Plainly, the sheep and the wolf are not agreed upon a definition of liberty.

Towering genius disdains a beaten path. It seeks regions hitherto unexplored.

Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln Democracy Quote

Ballots are the rightful and peaceful successors to bullets.

Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln Liberty Quote

Our defense is in the preservation of the spirit which prizes liberty as a heritage of all men, in all lands, everywhere. Destroy this spirit and you have planted the seeds of despotism around your own doors.

Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln Danger Quote

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.
