Quotes by Abraham Lincoln:

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.

Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any one thing.
I am a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended upon to meet any national crises. The great point is to bring them the real facts.

I will prepare and some day my chance will come.

If you would win a man to your cause, first convince him that you are his sincere friend.

Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.

Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power.

When I do good, I feel good; when I do bad, I feel bad, and that is my religion.
