Remember all those renowned generations,
Remember all that have sunk in their blood,
Remember all that have died on the scaffold,
Remember all that have fled, that have stood,
Stood, took death like a tune
On an old tambourine.

I remember the scenes of battle in which we stood together. I remember especially that broad and deep grave at the foot of the Resaca hill where we left those gallant comrades who fell in that desperate charge. I remember, through it all, the gallantry, devotion and steadfastness, the high-set patriotism you always exhibited.
(Benjamin Harrison (1833-1901), U.S. president. Speech in Indianapolis, June 26, 1888. Speeches of Benjamin Harrison: Twenty-Third President of the United States, p. 28, Kennikat Press (1971).

It's enough for you to do it once for a few men to remember you. But if you do it year after year, then many people remember you and they tell it to their children, and their children and grandchildren remember and, if it concerns books, they can read them. And if it's good enough, it will last as long as there are human beings.
(Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961), U.S. author. Quoted in Malcolm Cowley, "Portrait of Mr. Papa," Life (New York, January 10, 1949).)
