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 so nobly advanced.

Human nature will not change. In any future great national trial, compared with the men of this, we shall have as weak and as strong, as silly and as wise, as bad and as good. Let us therefore study the incidents in this as philosophy to learn wisdom from and none of them as wrongs to be avenged.

It still will be the abundance of man's heart, that slavery extension is wrong and out of the abundance of his heart, his mouth will continue to speak.

The time has come when I am for everybody fighting the rebels. Let Indians fight them let the Negroes fight them and if you have got any strong-legged jackasses in Iwoa that can kick rebels to death, they have my hearty consent.
