Inspiring Quotes from Abraham Lincoln

One of my favourite, inspiring men of this world for me was Abraham Lincoln. I have seen more inspiring quotes come from him than all the others put together! When you start to read these, take a few moments to consider the impact, intelligence and inspired thought and experience behind them. Only a truly developed person could even begin to think these thoughts. He inspired the NLP Presupposition “There is no failure, only feedback”.

“Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any one thing”.

“Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt”.

“Force is all-conquering, but its victories are short-lived”.

“He can compress the most words into the smallest ideas of any man I ever met”.

“I am a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended upon to meet any national crises. The great point is to bring them the real facts”.

“Discourage litigation. Persuade your neighbors to compromise whenever you can. As a peacemaker the lawyer has superior opportunity of being a good man. There will still be business enough”.

“If this is coffee, please bring me some tea; but if this is tea, please bring me some coffee.”

“If you would win a man to your cause, first convince him that you are his sincere friend”.

“It has been my experience that folks who have no vices have very few virtues”.

“It is difficult to make a man miserable while he feels worthy of himself and claims kindred to the great God who made him”.

“Let me not be understood as saying that there are no bad laws, nor that grievances may not arise for the redress of which no legal provisions have been made. I mean to say no such thing. But I do mean to say that although bad laws, if they exist, should be repealed as soon as possible, still, while they continue in force, for the sake of example they should be religiously observed”.

“I will prepare and some day my chance will come”.

“If I were two-faced, would I be wearing this one?”

“Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be”.

“Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man’s character, give him power”.

“No man has a good enough memory to make a successful liar”.

“No man is good enough to govern another man without that other’s consent”.

“Tact is the ability to describe others as they see themselves”.

“That some should be rich, shows that others may become rich, and, hence, is just encouragement to industry and enterprise”.

“The probability that we may fail in the struggle ought not to deter us from the support of a cause we believe to be just”.

“Whatever you are, be a good one”.

“When the conduct of men is designed to be influenced, persuasion, kind unassuming persuasion, should ever be adopted. It is an old and true maxim that ‘a drop of honey catches more flies than a gallon of gall.’ So with men. If you would win a man to your cause, first convince him that you are his sincere friend. Therein is a drop of honey that catches his heart, which, say what he will, is the great highroad to his reason, and which, once gained, you will find but little trouble in convincing him of the justice of your cause, if indeed that cause is really a good one”.

“When you have got an elephant by the hind leg, and he is trying to run away, it’s best to let him run”.

“Whenever I hear anyone arguing for slavery, I feel a strong impulse to see it tried on him personally”.

“You cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today”.

“You may deceive all the people part of the time, and part of the people all the time, but not all the people all the time”.                                                                                                                                 (attributed)

“When I do good, I feel good; when I do bad, I feel bad, and that is my religion”.
(attributed)

And what makes man so inspired, so intelligent and so creative in his life? Look below and perhaps you’ll begin to see the character:

* 1831 – Lost his job
* 1832 – Defeated in run for Illinois State Legislature
* 1833 – Failed in business
* 1834 – Elected to Illinois State Legislature (success)
* 1835 – Sweetheart died
* 1836 – Had nervous breakdown
* 1838 – Defeated in run for Illinois House Speaker
* 1843 – Defeated in run for nomination for U.S. Congress
* 1846 – Elected to Congress
* 1848 – Lost re-nomination
* 1849 – Rejected for land officer position
* 1854 – Defeated in run for U.S. Senate
* 1856 – Defeated in run for nomination for Vice President
* 1858 – Again defeated in run for U.S. Senate
* 1860 – Abraham Lincoln Elected President!

So you can see that inspiring thoughts and quotes are born from challenging adversity.

“Don’t intend to avoid adversity, meet it and have coffee to decide if it has any good for you” – Terry Elston 2010
