Abraham Lincoln, on his “do goader” religion

When I do good, I feel good. When I do bad, I feel bad. That's my religion.

Abraham Lincoln, on the importance of transparency in government:

What kills a skunk is the publicity it gives itself.

Abraham Lincoln, on the proper relation of God and humans:

We trust, sir, that God is on our side. It is more important to know that we are on God's side.

Abraham Lincoln, reminding us that Rome was not built in a day, nor the business of America finished by the adoption of the Constitution:

"I leave you, hoping that the lamp of liberty will burn in your bosoms until there shall no longer be a doubt that all men are created free and equal."

Abraham Lincoln, proposing a common sense test for true religion:

I care not much for a man's religion whose dog and cat are not the better for it.
