In researching a book I'm writing I read the Gettysburg Address today. And I re-read it, then I wrote it out. It took up one side of A4 paper and takes far less than ten minutes to read out. A truly amazing document and the more you read it the more you realise it has the stamp of genius about it. For it says far more about the man who wrote it than the momentous events it was intended to commemorate. Such humility, almost as if he is not worthy of such things, it is only by the Grace of God that he finds himself here. So much said in so few words. He could not have said more if he had written a thousand pages. Such understanding and what courage to stand before a crowd at such an occassion and seemingly have so little to say. I understand at the time he was much derided for it. Anyway, it is quite inspiring really. So I wondered if you have been inspired in life by the words of another?
