John F. Kennedy
Of those to whom much is given, much is required. And when at some future date the high court of history sits in judgement on each one of us recording whether in our brief span of service we fulfilled our responsibilities to the state, our success or failure, in whatever office we may hold, will be measured by the answers to four questions - were we truly men of courage, were we truly men of judgement, were we truly men of integrity, were we truly men of dedication?
Abraham Lincoln
- Brave
In a large sense we cannot dedicate, 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 detract.
