"I am not bound to win, but..." - Quote by Abraham Lincoln

“Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure.”

“Free labor has the inspiration of hope; pure slavery has no hope.”

“I believe the declaration that ‘all men are created equal’ is the great fundamental principle upon which our free institutions rest.”

“Use no hurtful deceit; think innocently and justly and, if you speak, speak accordingly.”

“Those are weaklings who know the truth and uphold it as long as it suits their purpose, and then abandon it.”

“Deal in our privacy with the last honesty and truth.”

“Bravery shows up in everyday life when people have the courage to live their truth, their vision and their dreams.”

“I don’t like facts, because facts get in the way of my feelings.”

“Of course, there are different truths on different levels. Things are true relative to other things; "long" and "short" relate to each other, "high" and "low," and so on. But is there any absolute truth? Something self-sufficient, independently true in itself? I don't think so.”
