Abraham Lincoln Quotes
Showing all text quotes-
‘A house divided against itself cannot stand’: I believe that this Government cannot endure permanently half-slave and half-free. I do not expect the Union to be dissolved. I do not expect the house to fall—but I do expect it will cease to be divided. It will become all one thing, or all the other.
