About This Quote

Abraham Lincoln's quote, "When I do good, I feel good; when I do bad, I feel bad, and that is my religion," is often misattributed to him. The real quote comes from the pen of humorist Abraham Lincoln. He was speaking to a group of Kansas City lawyers on March 30, 1859. The original 1862 quote reads: “When I do good, I feel good; and when I do evil, I feel as if I am doing something useful.”
