More quotes by Abraham Lincoln
Fellow-citizens, we cannot escape history. We of this Congress and this administration, will be remembered in spite of ourselves. No personal significance, or insignificance, can spare one or another of us. The fiery trial through which we pass, will light us down, in honor or dishonor, to the latest generation.
Abraham Lincoln

The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here.
Abraham Lincoln
