Does abraham lincoln have a famous quote?

that government of the people by the people for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

"We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battlefield and patriot grave to every living heart and hearthstone all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature."

Discourage litigation. Persuade your neighbors to compromise whenever you can. Point out to them how the nominal winner is often a real loser - in fees, expenses, and waste of time. As a peacemaker the lawyer has a superior opportunity of being a good man. There will still be business enough."

"Whenever I hear any one arguing for slavery I feel a strong impulse to see it tried on him personally."

"Leave nothing for tomorrow which can be done today."

"Common looking people are the best in the world: that is the reason the Lord makes so many of them."

"Stand with anybody that stands RIGHT. Stand with him while he is right and PART with him when he goes wrong."

"There are no accidents in my philosophy. Every effect must have its cause. The past is the cause of the present, and the present will be the cause of the future. All these are links in the endless chain stretching from the finite to the infinite."
