Lincoln Quote

[Giving a speech at a dedication, Lincoln stands beside the flagpole, and with great ceremony takes off his hat, removes a piece of paper from inside and unfolds it, then puts on his glasses]Abraham Lincoln: [reading]The part assigned to me is to raise the flag which, if there be no fault in the machinery, I will do. And, when up, it shall be for the people to keep it up. [takes off his glasses and re-folds the paper]
Abraham Lincoln: That's my speech. [laughter]
