+  Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on
+this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated
+to the proposition that all men are created equal.
+  Now we are engaged in a great Civil War, testing whether that
+nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long
+endure.
+  We are met on a great battle-field of that war.
+  We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final
+resting place for those who here gave their lives that that
+nation might live.  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
