My great concern…..

My great concern is not whether you have failed but whether you are content with your failure.

Always…..

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

No man….

No man has a good enough memory to be a successful liar

– Abraham Lincoln

You cannot…..

You cannot give people lasting help by doing for them what they were supposed to do for themselves

– Abraham Lincoln

I am…

I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true

– Abraham Lincoln

With…

With public sentiment, nothing can fail. Without it, nothing can succeed.

When…

When I’m getting ready to persuade a man, I spend one-third of the time thinking about myself, what I’m going to say and two-thirds of the time thinking about him and what he is going to say.

– Abraham Lincoln

When you…

… make it to the top, turn and reach down for the person behind you

– Abraham Lincoln

Things may…

… come to those who wait, but only the things left by those who hustle.

– Abraham Lincoln

You can…

please some of the people some of the time, all of the people some of the time, some of the people all of the time but you can never please all of the people all of the time.

– Abraham Lincoln
