advancing change christian clearer earlier human origin reason salvation scheme shall stronger thinking views
My earlier views at the unsoundness of the Christian scheme of salvation and the human origin of the scriptures, have become clearer and stronger with advancing years and I see no reason for thinking I shall ever change them
mean thinking way
I think that God means that we shall do more than we have yet done in furtherance of his plans and he will open the way for our doing it.
war thinking games
I think to lose Kentucky is nearly the same as to lose the whole game.
war thinking emancipation-proclamation
You dislike the emancipation proclamation; and, perhaps, would have it retracted. You say it is unconstitutional - I think differently.
time thinking done
Few can be induced to labor exclusively for posterity; and none will do it enthusiastically. Posterity has done nothing for us; and theorize on it as we may, practically we shall do very little for it, unless we are made to think we are at the same time doing something for ourselves.
wine thinking abuse
None seemed to think the injury arose from the use of a bad thing but from the abuse of a very good thing
thinking feelings civil-war
I am naturally anti-slavery. If slavery is not wrong, nothing is wrong. I can not remember when I did not so think, and feel. And yet I have never understood that the Presidency conferred upon me an unrestricted right to act officially upon this judgment and feeling.
thinking differences civil-war
You think slavery is right and ought to be extended; while we think it is wrong and ought to be restricted. That I suppose is the rub. It certainly is the only substantial difference between us.
thinking abolition-of-slavery abolitionist
I have always hated slavery, I think as much as any Abolitionist.
thinking people doubt
Tis better people think you a fool, then open your mouth and erase all doubt.
thinking action cases
As our case is new, we must think and act anew.
thinking fit born
Do you think we choose the times into which we are born? Or do we fit the times we are born into?
thinking apaches useless
I cannot think that we are useless or God would not have created us.
jobs men thinking
You must think I am a high-priced man.... Fifteen dollars is enough for the job. I send you a receipt for fifteen dollars, and return to you a ten-dollar bill.
