Abraham Lincoln Quotes in The Gettysburg Address
Fourscore 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.
But, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate—we cannot hallow—this ground.
The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here.
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 here 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 the earth.
