"A woman is the only thing I..." - Quote by Abraham Lincoln

“He [Stephen Douglas] is blowing out the moral lights around us, when he contends that whoever wants slaves has a right to hold them; that he is penetrating, so far as lies in his power, the human soul, and eradicating the light of reason and the love of liberty, when he is in every possible way preparing the public mind, by his vast influence, for making the institution of slavery perpetual and national.”

“Every man is proud of what he does well; and no man is proud of what he does not do well. With the former, his heart is in his work; and he will do twice as much of it with less fatigue. The latter performs a little imperfectly, looks at it in disgust, turns from it, and imagines himself exceedingly tired. The little he has done, comes to nothing, for want of finishing.”

“As the problems are new, we must disenthrall ourselves from the past.”

“What would men be without women? Scarce, sir...mighty scarce.”

“No matter how much a woman loved a man, it would still give her a glow to see him commit suicide for her.”

“The most beautiful voice in the world is that of an educated Southern woman.”

“A dirty joke is a sort of mental rebellion.”

“The Senate just sits and waits till they find out what the president wants, so they know how to vote against him.”

“My experience is that people are most likely to listen to reason when in bed.”
