Quotes about Abraham Lincoln
- Lincoln made extraordinary efforts to attain knowledge while working on a farm, splitting rails for fences, and keeping store at New Salem, Illinois. Nikol Vega Canales, Abraham Lincoln Complete Biography and Quotes
Knowledge - While young Lincoln’s formal education consisted approximately of a year’s worth of classes from several itinerant teachers, he was mostly self-educated and was an avid reader and often sought access to any new books in the village. Nikol Vega Canales, Abraham Lincoln Complete Biography and Quotes
Personal Development - For a century or more, generations of Americans were taught to be like Lincoln – forbearing, kind, principled, resolute – but what we’ve really wanted is for Lincoln to be like us, and this has never been truer than the present day. Andrew Ferguson, Land of Lincoln: Adventures in Abe’s America
Teacher - Only after years of studying the powerful crosscurrents of political and military pressures on Lincoln did I come to appreciate the skill with which he steered between the numerous shoals of conservatism and radicalism, free states and slave states, abolitionists, Republicans, Democrats, and border-state Unionists to maintain a steady course that brought the nation to victory – and the abolition of slavery – in the end. James M. McPherson, Abraham Lincoln
Appreciation - From his earliest days Lincoln had a sense that his destiny was controlled by some larger force, some Higher Power. David Herbert Donald, Lincoln

Compassion - The greatness of Napoleon, Caesar or Washington is only moonlight by the sun of Lincoln. His example is universal and will last thousands of years. . . .

Greatness - That Lincoln, after winning the presidency, made the unprecedented decision to incorporate his eminent rivals into his political family, the cabinet, was evidence of a profound self-confidence and a first indication of what would prove to others a most unexpected greatness.
