Additional quotes by Abraham Lincoln

Force is all-conquering, but its victories are short-lived.

The philosophy of the schoolroom in one generation is the philosophy of government in the next.

In my opinion the religion that makes men rebel and fight against their government is not the genuine article, nor is the religion the right sort which reconciles them to the idea of eating their bread in the sweat of other men's faces. It is not the kind to get to heaven on.
