Gettysburg Address (2013):

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on upon 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 it that field, as a final resting place for those who died here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.  This we may in all propriety do.

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 hallowed consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract.

The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but while it can never forget what they did here. It is rather for us the living, rather, we here to be dedicated here to the great task before us 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 here gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this the 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.

-- Abraham Lincoln Barack Obama

Someone once told me that you can tell when someone is lying by the way they blink.  If their eyes blink together, their telling the truth.  Of one eye blinks before the other, they're lying.  This was snapped at the end of the "...shall not have died in vein..." line.

Hmmmmm....
