Abraham Lincoln adressed the American people with a speech that, as a side fact, is one of the most quoted speeches in the history of the U.S.
Over the years scholars have analyzed the speech, and they suggest that Lincoln used extreme care with his words. He wanted to deliver a heartfelt and precise message in moments of extreme national crisis. The magnitude of the battle in Gettysburg stunned the whole nation, and the dedication of a cementery at the site of the Civil War's most pivotal battle was seen as a solemn event, that empathized with the whole nation.
He placed this battle within the larger context of the American history, by making reference 87 years before to it's foundation. Lincoln sought to transform America by making an attempt at redefining liberty and nationalism by fusing the two together. Lincoln forever changed the way we think about the country.

Hello. Although you have presented the text you have not asked the question to which this text is associated. Therefore, I will explain to you what is happening in this text and I hope that this can help you to answer your question.
This text is an excerpt from the play "Julio Cesar" written by Shakespeare. This passage is spoken by Brutus when he feels indignant that Cassius refused to lend him gold, so that he would be able to pay the members of his army. Brutus believes that Cassius is being selfish, as he has a lot of gold and lending a little would not be missed, especially to such a close friend. In this same excerpt, Brutus shows regret for having trusted Cassius' friendship and states that if the situation happened to the contrary he would never deny gold to a friend and would expect him to get gold through criminal or unethical practices such as exploiting peasants, such as Cassius told him to do it.
