Results from Classic Quotes:

I will prepare and some day my chance will come.: Abraham Lincoln (1809 - 1865)
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.: Abraham Lincoln (1809 - 1865), The Gettysburg Address, November 19, 1863
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 (1809 - 1865), 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 (1809 - 1865), The Gettysburg Address, November 19, 1863
I do the very best I know how-the very best I can; and I mean to keep doing so until the end. If the end brings me out all right, what is said against me won't amount to anything. If the end brings me out wrong, ten angels swearing I was right would make no difference.: Abraham Lincoln (1809 - 1865), Francis Carpenter, Six Months at the White House, 1867

There is an important sense in which government is distinctive from administration. One is perpetual, the other is temporary and changeable. A man may be loyal to his government and yet oppose the particular principles and methods of administration.: Abraham Lincoln (1809 - 1865), Congressional Record, April 15, 1942
- More quotations on: [Government]
While the people retain their virtue, and vigilance, no administration, by any extreme of wickedness or folly, can very seriously injure the government, in the short space of four years.: Abraham Lincoln (1809 - 1865), First Inaugural Adress, march 4, 1861
- More quotations on: [Government]
The dogmas of the quiet past, are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise with the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew and act anew. We must disenthrall ourselves, and then we shall save our country.: Abraham Lincoln (1809 - 1865), Annual message to Congress, December 1, 1862
- More quotations on: [Time]
There has never been but one question in all civilization-how to keep a few men from saying to many men: You work and earn bread and we will eat it.: Abraham Lincoln (1809 - 1865)
