Abraham Lincoln
But in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or to detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here.
Abraham Lincoln
I am not concerned that you have fallen -- I am concerned that you arise.
Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
A house divided against itself cannot stand.
Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
