"He who is unable to live in society, or who has no need because he is sufficient for himself, must be either a beast or a god”
"The honor of a nation is its life."
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 the
earth. - President Abraham Lincoln
