It is altogether fitting and proper that +we should do this. + But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate - we can not +consecrate - we can not hallow - this ground. + The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have +consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. +The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, +but it can never forget what they did here. + It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the +unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so +nobly advanced. 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 full measure of 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 this earth. + +Abraham Lincoln, November 19, 1863, Gettysburg, Pennsylvania |
