Lincoln quotes

It's time for me to go. But I would rather stay.

Abraham Lincoln

Shall we stop this bleeding?

Abraham Lincoln

You think I'm ignorant of what you're up to because you haven't discussed this scheme with me as you ought to have done? When have I ever been so easily bamboozled? I believe you when you insist that amending the Constitution and abolishing slavery will end this war. And since you're sending my son into the war, woe to you if you fail to pass the amendment.

Mary Todd Lincoln
