Famous Quotes of Abraham Lincoln Establish the Impact of One of our Greatest Presidents.

---

There are few Americans today that would disagree on the greatness of Abraham Lincoln as our Sixteenth President, and many Americans are still moved today when observing famous quotes of Abraham Lincoln.

Lincoln was without question a great President, an orator that moved the masses when he spoke.

Lincoln was also a well educated and intelligent man, and one of the few, if not the only President that wrote his own speeches.

He simply did not trust anyone else to get his point across the way that he could.

Whether he was speaking on slavery, freedom, the war, or the rights of Americans, the famous quotes of Abraham Lincoln still reside in the heart of our country today.

On slavery, Lincoln offered many infamous quotes, and when he was fighting for the Emancipation Proclamation, he made his point very clear.

“I am naturally anti-slavery. If slavery is not wrong, nothing is wrong. I can not remember when I did not so think, and feel.”

Lincoln’s quotes and thoughts were succinct and to the point, nobody ever wondered what he was trying to say.

And this may well be exactly what led to each of his Presidencies.

More Famous Quotes of Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln had many thoughts on God, war, and many matters important to America that had nothing to do with slavery at all.

It may surprise some Americans that Lincoln was not an overtly religious man, in fact, he often flat out denied religion when it came up.

“It will not do to investigate the subject of religion too closely, as it is apt to lead to Infidelity.”

– Abraham Lincoln , Manford’s Magazine

And believe it or not, but infidelity was a touchy subject for this President, who had been accused of as much when he was a Senator. His response?

“I do not think I could myself, be brought to support a man for office, whom I knew to be an open enemy of, and scoffer at, religion.’

– Abraham Lincoln , Answering to Infidelity Charges, 1846

Lincoln Brought Hope to America at War Time

But because this was a President that was exacting change and bringing hope to America, even the charges of infidelity seemed insufficient to lead people away from his capacity to act as the leader of their country.

Lincoln was a powerful man, a fantastic orator, and one of the most eloquent leaders of our time.

He took his job as the leader of this country, and even invoked sarcasm to force the hearts of Americans to bleed.

“Both read the same Bible and pray to the same God, and each invokes his aid against the other.

“It may seem strange that any men should dare to ask a just God’s assistance in wringing their bread from the sweat of other men’s faces, but let us judge not that we be not judged.”

– Abraham Lincoln , Using Sarcasm In His Second Innaugural Address, 1865

And though the famous quotes of Abraham Lincoln are many and strong, he was so effective at his job, that we only need one or two to realize how powerful he was as this nation’s Sixteenth President.
