      INTRODUCTION

      Honest Abe, Abraham Lincoln, a lawyer turned President, was the 16th President of United States. Lincoln led the country through Civil War that caused due to the abolition of slavery. Abraham Lincoln brought about many economic reforms that caused its modernization. He was a true lover of democracy and his quotes on democracy had gained huge recognition.

      Abraham Lincoln was born in 1809, to Thomas and Nancy Lincoln, in Kentucky. He loved reading books and was moved to see slaves being ill-treated in his childhood. His political career started in a very early stage by being the member of Illinois House of Representatives. He had the vision of economic modernization from the initial stages of his career. After a small break in political career, Abraham made a huge step by forming a political party, The Republican Party in 1854. He worked hard for his long-cherished dream of abolishing slavery. The fruits of his hard work emerged in the form of abolition of slavery in 1860, when he became the elected President. Soon he had to face the outbreak of the Civil war in 1861, when the Confederate States of America declared war. Abraham Lincoln took his stand for equal rights, liberty and democracy. His ultimate goal was to free his country from the hands of blood thirsty anti socials and reunite the nation. His war strategies were commendable and helped the country from being devastated. Lincoln’s broader vision of abolition of slavery helped in expanding his work towards freeing the slaves from adjacent countries too. The Confederates were not able hold too long and surrendered. In 1865, Abraham Lincoln was assassinated by a humiliated Confederate supporter.

      Abraham Lincoln is one of the three greatest American Presidents. He was self- educated and preserved the thirst for knowledge throughout his life. Slavery, one of man’s barbarianism came to an end only due to Lincoln’s strong will power and his pure love to fraternity.

      ABRAHAM LINCOLN QUOTES

      Upon the subject of education, I can only say that I view it as the most important subject which we as a people may be engaged in.

      God bless the soldiers and seamen, with all their brave commanders.

      No man ever got lost on a straight road.

      You think slavery is right and ought to be extended; while we think it is wrong and ought to be restricted. That I suppose is the rub. It certainly is the only substantial difference between us.

      Honor is better than honors.

      When any church will inscribe over its altar, as its sole qualification for membership, the Savior's condensed statement of the substance of both law and Gospel, 'Thou shalt love the lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul and thy neighbor as thyself' that church will I join with all my heart and all my soul.

      I am a slow walker, but I never walk back.

      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.

      Familiarize yourself with the chains of bondage and you prepare your own limbs to wear them.

      Discourage litigation. Persuade your neighbors to compromise whenever you can. As a peacemaker the lawyer has superior opportunity of being a good man. There will still be business enough.

      The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.

      Someday I shall be President.

      Better to remain silent and thought a fool, than to speak out and confirm that you didn't do the assigned readings before the strategic planning retreat.

      I trust that as He shall further open the way, I will be ready to walk therein, relying on His help and trusting in His goodness and wisdom.

      Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves.

      As the chief speaker at the dedication of the national cemetery at the Gettysburg Battlefield, statesman Edward Everett wrote to Lincoln: I should be glad if I could flatter myself that I came as near to the central idea of the occasion in two hours as you did in two minutes. "

      My earlier views of the unsoundness of the Christian scheme of salvation and the human origin of the scriptures have become clearer and stronger with advancing years, and I see no reason for thinking I shall ever change them."

      Nothing valuable can be lost by taking time.

      One company can serve some of your needs all of the time, or all of your needs some of the time, but never both.

      I fear you do not fully comprehend the danger of abridging the liberties of the people. Nothing but the sternest necessity can ever justify it. A government had better go to the extreme of toleration, than to do aught that could be construed into an interference with, or to jeopardize in any degree, the common rights of its citizens.

      I could not have slept tonight if I had left that helpless little creature to perish on the ground.

      I have always thought that all men should be free; but if any should be slaves, it should be first those who desire for themselves, and secondly those who desire it for others. Whenever I hear anyone arguing for slavery, I feel a strong impulse to see it tried on him personally.

      A husband and wife may be divorced and go out of the presence and beyond the reach of each other, but the different parts of our country cannot do this. They can but remain face to face, and intercourse, either amicable or hostile, must continue between them.

      I hold it to be a paramount duty of us in the free states, due to the Union of the states, and perhaps to liberty itself (paradox though it may seem) to let the slavery of the other states alone; while, on the other hand, I hold it to be equally clear, that we should never knowingly lend ourselves directly or indirectly, to prevent that slavery from dying a natural death--to find new places for it to live in, when it can no longer exist in the old.

      A child is a person who is going to carry on what you have started. the fate of humanity is in his hands.

      Politicians are a set of men who have interests aside from the interests of the people and who, to say the most of them, are, taken as a mass, at least one long step removed from honest men

      Surely He intends some great good to follow this mighty convulsion which no mortal could make, and no mortal could stay.

      I don't know who my grandfather was; I am much more concerned to know what his grandson will be.

      Few can be induced to labor exclusively for posterity; and none will do it enthusiastically. Posterity has done nothing for us; and theorize on it as we may, practically we shall do very little for it, unless we are made to think we are at the same time doing something for ourselves.

      In great contests each party claims to act in accordance with the will of God. Both may be, and one must be wrong.

      Should my administration prove to be a very wicked one...or a very foolish one, if you, the people, are true to yourselves and the Constitution, there is little harm I can do, thank God.

      A tendency to melancholy...let it be observed, is a misfortune, not a fault.

      We all declare for liberty, but in using the same word we do not all mean the same thing.

      Oh, that [his Thanksgiving Message] is some of Seward's nonsense, and it pleases the fools.

      The man does not live who is more devoted to peace than I am. None who would do more to preserve it.

      I will prepare and someday my chance will come.

      In this sad world of ours sorrow comes to all and it often comes with bitter agony. Perfect relief is not possible except with time. You cannot now believe that you will ever feel better. But this is not true. You are sure to be happy again. Knowing this, truly believing it will make you less miserable now. I have had enough experience to make this statement.

      Republicans are for both the man and the dollar, but in case of conflict the man before the dollar.

      The demon of intemperance ever seems to have delighted in sucking the blood of genius and of generosity. What one of us but can call to mind some relative more promising in youth than all his fellows, who has fallen a sacrifice to his rapacity?

      The struggle of today, is not altogether for today - it is for a vast future also. With a reliance on Providence, all the more firm and earnest, let us proceed in the great task which events have devolved upon us.

      We hoped for a happy termination of this terrible war long before this; but God knows best, and has ruled otherwise. We shall yet acknowledge His wisdom and our own error therein.

      If by the mere force of numbers a majority should deprive a minority of any clearly written constitutional right, it might, in a moral point of view, justify revolution.

      I remember my mother's prayers and they have always followed me. They have clung to me all my life.

      "Human action can be modified to some extent, but human
