"Human nature will not change. In any..." - Quote by Abraham Lincoln

“Suspicions which may be unjust need not be stated.”

“Tangible language, which often tells more falsehoods than truths.”

“I am for the people of the whole nation doing just as they please in all matters which concern the whole nation; for that of each part doing just as they choose in all matters which concern no other part; and for each individual doing just as he chooses in all matters which concern nobody else.”

“Human beings are the only creatures who blush - or who need to.”

“Men take more pains to mask than mend.”

“If you let people follow their feelings, they will be able to do good. This is what is meant by saying that human nature is good.”

“Of all our studies, it is history that is best qualified to reward our research.”

“Critical acumen is exerted in vain to uncover the past; the past cannot be presented; we cannot know what we are not. But one veilhangs over past, present, and future, and it is the province of the historian to find out, not what was, but what is. Where a battle has been fought, you will find nothing but the bones of men and beasts; where a battle is being fought, there are hearts beating.”

“Literature is a fragment of a fragment. Of all that ever happened, or has been said, but a fraction has been written; and of this but little is extant.”
