Quotations by Author
- Read the works of Abraham Lincoln online at The Literature Page
- Character is like a tree and reputation like its shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.
- Abraham Lincoln, Lincoln's Own Stories
- I have always found that mercy bears richer fruits than strict justice.
- Abraham Lincoln, speech in Washington D.C., 1865
- We know nothing of what will happen in the future, but in the analogy of experience.
- Abraham Lincoln, Speech on the sub-Treasury, December 26, 1839
- But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here.
- Abraham Lincoln, The Gettysburg Address, November 19, 1863
- It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced.
- Abraham Lincoln, The Gettysburg Address, November 19, 1863
- Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
