*** START OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK WIDGER'S QUOTES FROM LINCOLN ***



This eBook was produced by David Widger [widger@cecomet.net]

Included here are quotations and references to subjects in the eight volumes of "The Writings of Abraham Lincoln". It begins with his first political address in 1832 and ends with a hastily scrawled note on the day of his assassination. I hoped that the design of the page with quotations scrolling down along the side of various steel engravings and photographs of this great man might give the words a greater impact.   D. W.

100,000 slaves are now in the United States military service Abolishing slavery in Washington, DC Abraham or "Abram" Act in such a manner as to create no bad feeling Affected contempt of refinement All know where he went in at; can't tell where he will come out at All agreed on this except South Carolina and Georgia And the war came As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master Ask of you military success, and I will risk the dictatorship Bad promises are better broken than kept Better for their own good than if they had been successful Boiling the shadow of a pigeon that had starved to death Bread that his own hands have earned Came forward and made a virtue of necessity Colonization Common right of humanity Compensated Emancipation Conspiracy to perpetuate and nationalize slavery Constitution alludes to slavery three times Could not afford to make money Counterfeit logic Crime to tell him that he is free! Danger of third-parties Declaring the African slave trade piracy Direct while appearing to obey Dirge of one who has no title to himself Distinction between a purpose and an expectation Don't think it will do him a bit of good either Dred Scott Endeavoring to blow up a storm that he may ride upon Estimated as mere brutes--as rightful property Events control me; I cannot control events

Explanations explanatory of explanations explained Familiarize yourselves with the chains of bondage Father's request for money Female Spy First Overtures for Surrender from Davis Five-star Mother Forbids the marrying of white people with negroes Forever forbid the two races living together Fort Pillow Massacre Four Score and Seven Years Ago Frankly that I am not in favor of negro citizenship Free all the slaves, and send them to Liberia Fugitive Slave law Further Democratic Party Criticism General Grant is a copious worker General McClellan's Tired Horses Get along without making either slaves or wives of negroes Gingerbread God gave him but little, that little let him enjoy Government cannot endure permanently half slave and half free Government was made for the white people Grant--very meager writer or telegrapher Grant's Exclusion of a Newspaper Reporter Gratuitous Hostility Hard to affirm a negative House divided against itself cannot stand I can't spare that man, he fights! I must say I do not think myself fit for the Presidency I authorize no bargains and will be bound by none I shall go to the wall for bread and meat I like the system which lets a man quit when he wants to

Idealization which so easily runs into the commonplace If the minority will not acquiesce, the majority must If slavery is not wrong, nothing is wrong If you do not like him, let him alone Ills you fly from have no real existence In the course of ultimate extinction Irresponsible Newspaper Reporters and Editors Is there in all republics this inherent and fatal weakness? It is bad to be poor Jibes and sneers in place of argument Judges are as honest as other men, and not more so Just leave her alone Lee's army, and not Richmond, is your true objective point Letter Suggesting a Beard Lincoln's Definition of Democracy Localized Repeal of Writ of Habeas Corpus Malice Toward None, with Charity for All Man cannot prove a negative Massacre of Three Hundred Colored Soldiers Men interested to misunderstand Mexico Middle ground between the right and the wrong?? Missouri Compromise Mixing of blood by the white and black races More a man speaks the less he is understood Mother of Five Sons Who Have Died Mrs. Lincoln's Rebel Brother-in-law Killed Need not have her for either, I can just leave her alone Needs New Tires on His Carriage Negro Troops Never stir up litigation News of Grant's Capture of Vicksburg No wrong without its remedy

No man can be silent if he would Not appearing on the appointed wedding day Not Be Much Oppressed by a Debt Which They Owe to Themselves Not seldom ragged, usually patched, and always shabby Not Best to Swap Horses When Crossing a Stream Nothing valuable can be lost by taking time One long step removed from honest men Order expelling all Jews from your department Order of Retaliation Ox jumped half over a fence Pardoned Patronizing if not contemptuous condescension Pay and send substitutes Peace at any price rose on all sides Printing Money Probably forever forbid their living together Public opinion in this country is everything Repeal of the Missouri Compromise Repeal of the Fugitive Slave Law Repentance before forgiveness Reply to Secretary Seward's Memorandum Revolutions never go backward Revolutions do not go backward Right to eat the bread he earns Right makes might Secession is the essence of anarchy Seward's Bid for Power Sherman's March to the Sea Should be permitted to keep the little he has Slave-traders Slavery was recognized, by South and North alike, as an evil Smallest are often the most difficult things to deal with

Story of the Emancipation Proclamation Strikes Suppressing all declarations that slavery is wrong Take advice with candid readiness Taking care to cut his expressions close That Some Should Be Rich Shows That Others May Become Rich The animal must be very slim somewhere Thought of their mind--articulated in his tongue Too Lazy to Be Anything but a Lawyer Too silly to require any sort of notice Trembled for his country Two Sons Who Want to Work Uncommon power of clear and compact statement Wanting to work is so rare a want War at the Best Is Terrible We Accepted this War, and Did Not Begin it We do not want to dissolve the Union; you shall not What I deal with is too vast for malicious dealing Who has the right needs not to fear Whom the gods wish to destroy they first make mad Wilmot Proviso Wisely given their public servants but little power for mischief World Has Never Had a Good Definition of the Word Liberty Would Make War Rather than Let the Nation Survive Would Accept War Rather than Let it Perish You work and toil and earn bread, and I'll eat it You were right and I was wrong You are not lazy, and still you are an idler

If you wish to read the entire context of any of these quotations, select a short segment and copy it into your clipboard memory--then open the appropriate eBook and paste the phrase into your computer's find or search operation.

These quotations were collected from the works of Lincoln by David Widger while preparing etexts for Project Gutenberg. Comments and suggestions will be most welcome.

Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed
editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the US
unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we usually do not
keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.

We are now trying to release all our eBooks one year in advance
of the official release dates, leaving time for better editing.
Please be encouraged to tell us about any error or corrections,
even years after the official publication date.

Please note neither this listing nor its contents are final til
midnight of the last day of the month of any such announcement.
The official release date of all Project Gutenberg eBooks is at
Midnight, Central Time, of the last day of the stated month.  A
preliminary version may often be posted for suggestion, comment
and editing by those who wish to do so.

Most people start at our Web sites at:
http://gutenberg.net or
http://promo.net/pg

These Web sites include award-winning information about Project
Gutenberg, including how to donate, how to help produce our new
eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter (free!).


Those of you who want to download any eBook before announcement
can get to them as follows, and just download by date.  This is
also a good way to get them instantly upon announcement, as the
indexes our cataloguers produce obviously take a while after an
announcement goes out in the Project Gutenberg Newsletter.

http://www.ibiblio.org/gutenberg/etext03 or
ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/etext03

Or /etext02, 01, 00, 99, 98, 97, 96, 95, 94, 93, 92, 92, 91 or 90

Just search by the first five letters of the filename you want,
as it appears in our Newsletters.


Information about Project Gutenberg (one page)

We produce about two million dollars for each hour we work.  The
time it takes us, a rather conservative estimate, is fifty hours
to get any eBook selected, entered, proofread, edited, copyright
searched and analyzed, the copyright letters written, etc.   Our
projected audience is one hundred million readers.  If the value
per text is nominally estimated at one dollar then we produce $2
million dollars per hour in 2002 as we release over 100 new text
files per month:  1240 more eBooks in 2001 for a total of 4000+
We are already on our way to trying for 2000 more eBooks in 2002
If they reach just 1-2% of the world's population then the total
will reach over half a trillion eBooks given away by year's end.

The Goal of Project Gutenberg is to Give Away 1 Trillion eBooks!
This is ten thousand titles each to one hundred million readers,
which is only about 4% of the present number of computer users.

Here is the briefest record of our progress (* means estimated):
