A first-rate second-rate man. Wendell Phillips
President Lincoln would be in the presidential Chair untill [sic] He had destroyed the Nation. The North will never have power to Crush the South. No never. The Lord will give the South power to fight the North until they will destroy Each other. Heber C Kimball, cited Wilford Woodruff’s Journal VI:216

In 1860 he [John Wilkes Booth] was initiated into the Knights of the Golden Circle. ibid.
Who or what has been beamed aboard our vessel? An alien who has changed himself into this form? An illusion? I cannot conceive it possible that Abraham Lincoln could have been reincarnated … Star Trek s3e22: The Savage Curtain, Kirk’s log
I was commander-in-chief during the four bloodiest years of my country’s history. I gave orders that sent 100,000 men to their death at the hands of their brothers. There is no honourable way to kill. No gentle way to destroy. There is nothing good in war except its ending. ibid. Lincoln to Kirk & Spock
They took it for more than it was, or anyhow for more than it said; the container was greater than the thing contained, and Lincoln became at once what he would remain for them ‘the man who freed the slaves’. He would go down to posterity, not primarily as the Preserver of the Republic – which he was – but as the Great Emancipator, which he was not. Shelby Foote, The Civil War vol I
Any people anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the right to rise up, and shake off the existing government, and form a new one that suits them better. This is a most valuable – a most sacred right – a right, which we hope and believe, is to liberate the world. Abraham Lincoln, speech on war with Mexico, 1848
As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master. This expresses my idea of democracy. Abraham Lincoln, August 1858
Elections belong to the people. It’s their decision. If they decide to turn their back on the fire and burn their behinds, then they will just have to sit on their blisters. Abraham Lincoln, cited Francis Carpenter, Six Months at the White House with Abraham Lincoln
Fondly do we hope, fervently do we pray, that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away.
… With malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in: to bind up the nation’s wounds; to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves, and with all nations. Abraham Lincoln, second inaugural speech 4th Mary 1865
Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth, on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived, and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting-place for those who here gave their lives, that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate, we can not consecrate – we can not hallow – this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us – that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they here gave the last full measure of devotion – that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain – that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth. Abraham Lincoln, Gettysburg Address (Bancroft copy)
I am a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended upon to meet any national crisis. The great point is to bring them the real facts. Abraham Lincoln
I am a tired man. Sometimes I think I am the tiredest man on Earth. Abraham Lincoln
I am naturally anti-slavery. If slavery is not wrong, nothing is wrong. Abraham Lincoln, letter to Hodges 1864
I believe this government cannot endure, permanently half slave and half free. Abraham Lincoln, House Divided speech 1858
If there is anything that links the human to the divine, it is the courage to stand by a principle when everybody else rejects it. Abraham Lincoln
I have never seen to my knowledge a man, woman or child who was in favor of producing a perfect equality, social and political, between Negroes and white men. Abraham Lincoln, cited Chicago Times, September 1958
In your hands, my dissatisfied countrymen, and not in mine is the momentous issue of civil war. The government will not assail you. You can have no conflict without being yourselves the aggressors. We are not enemies but friends. We must not be enemies. Abraham Lincoln, Inaugural address 1861
It is true that you may fool all the people some of the time; you can even fool some of the people all of the time; but you can’t fool all of the people all of the time. Abraham Lincoln, attributed
It often requires more courage to dare to do right than to fear to do wrong. Abraham Lincoln
I will say, then, that I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races. Abraham Lincoln, 1858 debate
Labor is prior to, and independent of, capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is superior to capital, and deserves much the higher consideration. Abraham Lincoln
Let us have faith that right makes might, and in that faith, let us, to the end, dare to do our duty as we understand it. Abraham Lincoln, speech 27th February 1860
My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it. Abraham Lincoln, letter to Horace Greeley August 1862
On 1st day of January in the year of our Lord 1863 all persons held as slaves within any state or designated part of the state the people whereof shall then be in rebellion against the United States shall be then, henceforth and forever free. Abraham Lincoln, The Emancipation Proclamation
Our defense is in the preservation of the spirit which prizes liberty as a heritage of all men, in all lands, everywhere. Destroy this spirit and you have planted the seeds of despotism around your own doors. Abraham Lincoln, speech Edwardsville 11th September 1858
Quarrel not at all. No man resolved to make the most of himself can spare time for personal contention. Still less can he afford to take all the consequences, including the vitiating of his temper and loss of self-control. Yield larger things to which you can show no more than equal right; and yield lesser ones, though clearly your own. Better give your path to a dog than be bitten by him in contesting for the right. Even killing the dog would not cure the bite. Abraham Lincoln
