“With malice toward none, with charity for all,
with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right,
let us strive on to finish the work we are in,
to bind up the nation’s wounds,
to care for him who shall have borne the battle
and for his widow and his orphan,
to do all which may achieve
and cherish a just and lasting peace
among ourselves and with all nations.”
~ Abraham Lincoln
“The world has never had a good definition
of the word liberty”
Address at a Sanitary Fair
Baltimore MD April 18, 1864
“A house divided against itself cannot stand.”
~ Abraham Lincoln
From address given on June 16, 1858
“Things may come to those who wait
but only the things left by those who hustle.”
“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.
“You can complain because a rose has thorns,
or rejoice because thorns have a rose.”
“It has been my experience
that folks who have no vices
have very few virtues.”
“Nearly all men can stand adversity,
but if you want to test a mans character,
give him power.”
“And in the end
it’s not the years in your life that count.
It’s the life in your years.”
“You can fool some of the people all of the time,
and all of the people some of the time,
but you can not fool all of the people all of the time.”
“If I am killed, I can die but once;
but to live in constant dread of it,
is to die over and over again.”
“Hypocrite: the man who murdered both his parents…
pleaded for mercy on the grounds that he was an orphan.”
“When I do good, I feel good.
When I do bad, I feel bad.
That’s my religion.”
“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.”
“What is conservatism?
Is it not the adherence to the old and tried
against the new and untried?”
“I never had a policy;
I have just tried
to do my very best
each and every day.”
“I see in the near future
a crisis approaching that unnerves me
and causes me to tremble
for the safety of my country. . . .
Corporations have been enthroned,
an era of corruption in high places will follow,
and the money-power of the country
will endeavor to prolong its reign
by working upon the prejudices
of the people until the wealth
is aggregated in a few hands
and the Republic is destroyed.”
“I believe it is an established maxim in morals
that he who makes an assertion
without knowing whether it is true or false
is guilty of falsehood, and the accidental truth
of the assertion does not justify or excuse him.”
