“Character is like a tree and reputation its shadow. The shadow is what we think it is and the tree is the real thing.”

Abraham Lincoln

“If we take habitual drunkards as a class, their heads and hearts will bear an advantageous comparison with those of any other class.”

Abraham Lincoln

“As a nation, we began by declaring that 'all men are created equal.' We now practically read it 'all men are created equal, except negroes.' When the Know-Nothings get control, it will read 'all men are created equal, except negroes, and foreigners, and Catholics.' When it comes to this I should prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretense of loving liberty – to Russia, for instance, where despotism can be taken pure, and without the base alloy of hypocrisy.”

Abraham Lincoln

“Hypocrite: The man who murdered his parents, and then pleaded for mercy on the grounds that he was an orphan.”

Abraham Lincoln

“I know there is a God, and that He hates injustice and slavery. I see the storm coming, and I know that his hand is in it. If He has a place and work for me - and I think He has - I believe I am ready.”

Abraham Lincoln

“I would rather be a little nobody, then to be a evil somebody.”

Abraham Lincoln

“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

“My great concern is not whether you have failed, but whether you are content with your failure.”

Abraham Lincoln

“Gold is good in it's place, but living, brave, patriotic men are better than gold.”

Abraham Lincoln

“There can be glory in failure and despair in success.”

Abraham Lincoln

“I am a success today because I had a friend who believed in me and I didn't have the heart to let him down...”

Abraham Lincoln

“The hen is the wisest of all the animal creation, because she never cackles until the egg is laid.”

Abraham Lincoln

“A house divided against itself cannot stand." I believe this government cannot endure, permanently half slave and half free. 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

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

Abraham Lincoln

“I am slow to listen to criminations among friends, and never expose their quarrels on either side…allow bygones to be bygones, and look to the present & future only.”

Abraham Lincoln
