I hold that while man exists, it is his duty to improve not only his own condition, but to assist in ameliorating mankind
American statesman and lawyer who served as the 16th President of the United States from March 1861 until his assassination in April 1865
The way for a young man to rise is to improve himself in every way he can, never suspecting that anybody wishes to hinder him
A capacity, and taste, for reading gives access to whatever has already been discovered by others
No man is good enough to govern another man without the other’s consent
If you think you can slander a woman into loving you, or a man into voting for you, try it till you are satisfied
I have talked with great men, and I do not see how they differ from others
You have to do your own growing no matter how tall your grandfather was
Justice will not be served until those who are unaffected are as outraged as those who are
It is man's natural sickness to believe that he possesses the truth
A lovely face is the solace of wounded hearts and the key of locked-up gates
If you have a garden and a library you have everything you need
Experience fails to teach where there is no desire to learn
There is no sickness worse for me that words that to be kind must lie.
