"Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power"
This quote is forever in my ear.
Me too!!
He proved he couldn't be trusted with power as he continually overstepped the Constitution.
He would be so disgusted with the repub party now.
@@sandrabarrie84 Lincoln wasn’t assassinated. He went back to the future and saw what happened so he asked john booth dont miss boy he asked Booth to kill himself because he saw what GOP had become in the 21st century

"America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."
Talk about prescient... :(
We are being destroyed from within and without!
FB flagged this and said he never said it. True?
Lincoln said, “At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide.”
Go Brandon, Go...
Not very, ten years later 1/4 of the population dead. 60% in ruins.
And for what? ☠☠☠☠🤭🙄😒😕🙀
"America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."
How fitting for this time.
... from within yes.

Ironically, he destroyed half of the countrymen and the country he swore to protect. There were many alternatives to a Civil War. What an evil, mentally ill idiot he really was.

“Whatever you are be a good one” -Abraham Lincoln
Can’t believe they forgot this one
Somehow it doesn't apply that well to this time and age. Be a good lawyer to get horrid criminals free? Be a good doctor, who breaks his vow for life each and every hour of his working life by torturing unborn children to the point of death?

@@gardenjoy5223 you misunderstand the definition of good, that is why you should say i am doing well, not good. Good is defined by moral concepts. Good is the antonym of evil. Language has been under attack for a long time and your ambiguos understanding of it is the main purpose of it.
@@DyneTyrreal So someone is not a good father, but a well father? I guess your own understanding lacks here.

"When you feel discouraged, seek healing in labor". I have personally found this to be true. Healing comes when you take your mind off of your own problems and labor in service to others around you.

this is true. This is so bloody true.
"Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power" was said about Lincoln by Robert Ingersoll in 1883, not by Lincoln. I know, this is just a small point, but you make it seem as if Lincoln said this quote himself. However, Lincoln very well *deserved* it being said about him..
Exactly. Robert Green Ingersoll.
Yeah, and Napoleon and Plato said it before that. And probably fifty other historical figures.
*"Give me 1hr to finish my Homework and I'll spend 50minutes reading these quotes and gathering motivation for the last moment"*
----ME
My favorite "Most people are as happy as they make up their minds to be."
Lincoln did say that but it's a strange quote coming from him because he suffered serious bouts of depression much of his life. Joshua Speed, a close friend when he was young, once said that Lincoln told him he didn't dare carry a knife with him because he was a afraid in a fit of despair he might use it on himself. Given what he suffered his accomplishments are all the more remarkable.
👍👍
He was a great man and has some of the best quotes I've ever heard, they really resonate with me and I'm sure many others.
I always go over them from time to time, great brain food.
Totally agree ! These are amazing!

Abraham Lincoln was a tyrant!! One of the worst Presidents!! Now we have clown-in Cheif Biden 🤡
@@nicholascrowder740 This comment is so perfect. I’m so appreciative that you posted it. Because it perfectly validates everything I already believed about many Biden-hating Americans. Of course someone whose moral sense regards President Lincoln as a tyrant also despises Joe Biden. You’re very useful to decent people everywhere, Nick, because you exquisitely and precisely demonstrate to them what the very worst of humanity looks like in the modern era.
The world was not worthy to have him. But, he was born for a purpose. Thank you sir. See you in Heaven.
The motto of all banksters is : "I would rather be an evil somebody than a little nobody."
Rockafella?
I truly believe that. They just don't give a damn about the average working man.
Most Hollywood types too. You'll be suprised how many sold their soul to be famous and rich.
“If you want to test a man’s character, give him power”.
1:55 , idk don’t don’t judge me,I’m epileptic and because this man led the civil war I’d want to talk to this man! And when a woman gains her strength and shows it we must be humble enough to take what is said with humanity and grace for if she can be true to her and be strong for her country I’d respect!
“Any people anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the right to rise up, and shake off the existing government, and for a new one that suits them better. This is a most valuable, - A MOST SACRED RIGHT - a right, which we hope and believe, is to liberate the world. Nor is this right confined to cases in which the whole people of an existing government, may choose to exercise it. Any portion of such people that can, may revolutionize, and make their own, of so much of the territory as they inhabit. More than this, a majority of any portion of such people may revolutionize, putting down a minority, intermingled with, or near about them, who may oppose their movement."

“You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time.” - Abraham Lincoln
“Those who look for the bad in people will surely find it.” All too true
This post of quotes from great intellectuals is very much appreciated! Thank You!❤️
When Abraham Lincoln became the president of America, his father was a shoemaker. And, naturally, egoistic people were very much offended that a shoemaker’s son should become the president. They were aristocrats, who thought it was their birthright to be in the highest government post. A shoemaker’s son? On the first day, as Abraham Lincoln entered to give his inaugural address, just in the middle, one man stood up. He was a very rich aristocrat. He said, “Mr. Lincoln, you should not forget that your father used to make shoes for my family.” And the whole Senate laughed; they thought that they had made a fool of Abraham Lincoln.
But Lincoln - and that type of person is made of a totally different mettle - Lincoln looked at the man and said, “Sir, I know that my father used to make shoes in your house for your family, and there will be many others here… because the way he made shoes, nobody else can. He was a creator. His shoes were not just shoes, he poured his whole soul in it. I want to ask you, have you any complaint? Because I know how to make shoes myself; if you have any complaint I can make another pair of shoes. But as far as I know, nobody has ever complained about my father’s shoes. He was a genius, a creator, and I am proud of my father!”
The whole Senate was struck dumb. They could not understand what kind of man Abraham Lincoln was. He had made shoe-making an art, a creativity. And he was proud because his father did the job so well that not even a single complaint had ever been heard. And even though he was the president of America, he was ready to make another pair if there was any complaint. The man looked silly. Lincoln insisted, “You have to speak! Why have you become dumb? You wanted to make me a fool, and now, look all around: you have made a fool of yourself.”

This man saved America from being destroyed by the Democrats. We're going to need another Lincoln soon.
You do realize that there was a democrat in charge during WW2.
Maybe it's the people in charge more than the political party they're associated with.
Amen
The Democrats in the middle of the 1800s were pro-slavery. Most of them were white people from the South. Almost all of those people are Republicans today. That makes your comment ahistorical
"If you want to test a man's character, give him wind and piles. For only in the depths of a retched stench can we determine his true worth"
Timeless! Never a truer word was spoken.
Yes absolutely right
Over a century after his death, we can still gain such wisdom from his words. I have a lot to work on!
"A great cloud of witnesses, which no man can number, composed of all classes and conditions of men, at home and abroad, everywhere, have recognized Abraham Lincoln as one of the greatest and best men ever produced by this country, if not ever produced by the world at large." -Frederick Douglass
Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe.....
"When you feel discouraged seek healing in labor"

“I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose any voters. It’s like, incredible.” -Donald Trump
Biden’s a clown 🤡
Abraham Lincoln in today's Republicans have nothing in common. Just remember the January 6th insurrection on the capitol. Lincoln would have been repulsed by that.
I hear these quotes and I think... how immoral, unjust and racist a person must be in order to shoot and kill Abraham Lincoln, one of the most just,wise and charismatic leaders of all time.
0:43. I don’t understand this. Nobody wants to be thought a fool, and what would you be removing doubt from?
If one keeps the mouth shut, others may think him or her dumb. But, shooting off one's mouth may do more to prove them right than to prove them wrong.

This guy seems pretty chill, I wonder what he thought about vampires?
"Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe." VERY important. Preparation, especially as a project manager with a team is so essential. The sad thing is in modern America they give you half at-best the manpower you need and less than half the prep-time and demand the best results. These are what we call idiots, or higher bosses that are obsessed with kissing their bosses asses. Like their kid is going to be The Godfather or something so they must succeed!".
Great as always🙏🏻

"The best way to predict your future is to *create* *it* ."
"Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe". Sounds like Lincoln is referring to the Daoist concept of Wu-Wei where precision and timing produces the best results.

"America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."
I can't think of a quote more relevant for today than this one.

"When you look for the bad in others, you will find it." You end up basing your view on them through preconceived judgments, which become what you find, and that even applies to those who look for the good in others. Only by taking a nonjudgmental view, neither looking for the bad or good, can you see accurately see what a person is. Observe closely their words and actions and they will show you what they are, then base your judgments on what they display the most. That will show you the quality of their character. Even in trivial matters, the quality of one's character can be seen.
