“It Is Rather for Us to Be Here Dedicated to the Great

“It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last measure of full devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”

--Abraham Lincoln, Gettysburg Address, November 19, 1863
