• O that unbelievers would learn of faithful Abraham, and believe whatever is revealed from God, though they cannot fully comprehend it! Abraham knew God commanded him to offer up his son, and therefore believed, notwithstanding carnal reasoning might suggest may objections.

• Que los hijos de la estirpe de Abraham que habitan en esta tierra continúen mereciendo y disfrutando de la buena voluntad de los demás habitantes, mientras que cada uno se sentará en seguridad bajo su propia vid e higuera y no habrá nadie que lo atemorice. Que el Padre de todas las misericordias esparza luz, y no tinieblas, sobre nuestros caminos, y nos haga a todos en nuestras diversas vocaciones útiles aquí, y a Su debido tiempo y manera eternamente felices.

• My movies more often are told through pictures, not words. But in this case, the pictures took second position to the incredible words of Abraham Lincoln and his presence [...] I was less interested in an outpouring of imagery than in letting the most human moment of this story evolve before us.

• All the great spiritual leaders in history were people of hope. Abraham, Moses, Ruth, Mary, Jesus, Rumi, Gandhi, and Dorothy Day all lived with a promise in their hearts that guided them toward the future without the need to know exactly what it would look like. Let's live with hope.

• It was psychobabbler Abraham Maslow who wrote of the phenomena of self-actualization. What Maslow failed to grasp is that reaching true self-actualization can only be ultimately achieved when you have your own brand of ammunition.

• Once you start deliberately offering thought, then you can never offer enough action to keep up with the thought. Once you access the Energy that creates worlds, a huge vortex comes into place, and there's just not enough action for you to keep up with that. And so, what you have to do is visualize every step of the way, envision you happy in the process. Envision things in place, envision people catching on. Just envision it working. Skip over the how and the where and the when and the who - and just stay focused upon the what and the why. Abraham

• Así que eché mi suerte con Él, no con el que afirmaba ser sabio, Confucius, ni con el que afirmaba ser iluminado, Buda, ni con el que afirmaba ser profeta, Muhammad, sino con el que afirmaba ser Dios en carne humana. El que declaró: "Antes que Abraham naciera, yo soy", y lo demostró.

• Viewing the man from the genuine abolitionist ground, Mr. Lincoln seemed cold, tardy, weak and unequal to the task. But, viewing him from the sentiments of his people, which as a statesman he was bound to respect, then his actions were swift, bold, radical and decisive. Taking the man in the whole, balancing the tremendous magnitude of the situation, and the necessary means to ends, Infinite Wisdom has rarely sent a man into the world more perfectly suited to his mission than Abraham Lincoln.

• Los laicistas se equivocan cuando piden a los creyentes que dejen su religión en la puerta antes de entrar en la plaza pública. Frederick Douglass La mayoría de los grandes reformistas de la historia de Estados Unidos, como Abraham Lincoln, Williams Jennings Bryan, Dorothy Day o Martin Luther King, no sólo estaban motivados por la fe, sino que utilizaron repetidamente el lenguaje religioso para defender su causa. Decir que los hombres y las mujeres no deben inyectar su "moral personal" en los debates de política pública es un absurdo práctico.

• Abraham Lincoln reconoció que no podíamos sobrevivir como tierra libre cuando algunos hombres podían decidir que otros no eran aptos para ser libres y, por tanto, debían ser esclavos. Del mismo modo, no podemos sobrevivir como nación libre cuando algunos hombres deciden que otros no son aptos para vivir y deben ser abandonados al aborto o al infanticidio.

• To most readers the word 'fiction' is an utter fraud. They are entirely convinced that each character has an exact counterpart in real life and that any small discrepancy with that counterpart is a simple error on the author's part. Consequently, they are totally at a loss if anything essential is altered. Make Abraham Lincoln a dentist, put the Gettysburg Address on his tongue, and nobody will recognize it.

• It was not until the Abraham Lincoln administration that an income tax was imposed on Americans. Its stated purpose was to finance the war, but it took until 1872 for it to be repealed. During the Grover Cleveland administration, Congress enacted the Income Tax Act of 1894. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled it unconstitutional in 1895. It took the Sixteenth Amendment (1913) to make permanent what the Framers feared -- today's income tax.

• And we're also remembering the guiding light of our Judeo-Christian tradition. All of us here today are descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, sons and daughters of the same God. I believe we are bound by faith in our God, by our love for family and neighborhood, by our deep desire for a more peaceful world, and by our commitment to protect the freedom which is our legacy as Americans. These values have given a renewed sense of worth to our lives. They are infusing America with confidence and optimism that many thought we had lost.
