Abundance

Famous quotes containing the word abundance:

“Slavery is founded in the selfishness of man’s nature—opposition to it, is [in?] his love of justice.... Repeal the Missouri compromise—repeal all compromises—repeal the declaration of independence—repeal all past history, you still can not repeal human nature. It still will be the abundance of man’s heart, that slavery extension is wrong; and out of the abundance of his heart, his mouth will continue to speak.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

“The family that perseveres in good works will surely have an abundance of blessings.”
—Chinese proverb.

“What you desire when young, you have in abundance when old.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
