"If I gave McClellan all the men..." - Quote by Abraham Lincoln

“We shall sooner have the fowl by hatching the egg than by smashing it.”

“It has been my experience that folks who have no vices have very few virtues.”

“You already know I desire that neither Father or Mother shall be in want of any comfort either in health or sickness while they live.”

“Untutored courage is useless in the face of educated bullets.”

“The reservist is twice the citizen.”

“The reason I beat the Austrians is, they did not known the value of five minutes”

“Those who imagine that a politician would make a better figurehead than a hereditary monarch might perhaps make the acquaintance of more politicians.”

“It has been reported that I was seriously ill--it was another man; dying--it was another man; dead--the other man again...As far as I can see, nothing remains to be reported, except that I have become a foreigner. When you hear it, don't you believe it. And don't take the trouble to deny it. Merely just raise the American flag on our house in Hartford and let it talk.”

“Irony is wasted on the stupid”
