"Did Stanton say I was a damned..." - Quote by Abraham Lincoln

“Knavery and flattery are blood relations.”

“I am struggling to maintain the government, not to overthrow it. I am struggling especially to prevent others from overthrowing it.”

“My experience has taught me that a man who has no vices has damned few virtues.”

“When you locate good in yourself, approve of it with determination. When you locate evil in yourself, despise it as something detestable.”

“No man has ever had a point of pride that was not injurious to him.”

“Yes, vanity is a weakness indeed. But pride - where there is a real superiority of mind, pride will be always under good regulation.”

“Sometimes I wonder if we shall ever grow up in our politics and say definite things which mean something, or whether we shall always go on using generalities to which everyone can subscribe, and which mean very little.”

“I don't know how to put on an act; I always show myself for what I am, in whatever mood I'm in.”

“Whenever a man's friends begin to compliment him about looking young, he may be sure that they think he is growing old.”
