“Words are the only things that last forever.” – Winston Churchill

From “Lincoln 365,” by Arnold Kunst

November 20

The main speaker at the dedication ceremony of the cemetery at Gettysburg, Edward Everett, sent this note about what came to be called the Gettysburg Address to President Lincoln: 'I should be glad if I could flatter myself that I came as near to the central idea of the occasion in two hours as you did in two minutes.'

'Spectacular achievement is always preceded by less spectacular preparation.'

- Arnold Kunst
