perish from the earth.
"...and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth. " is the last line of Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address. See the link below.Abraham Lincoln
that free government will perish from earth
A government that is inclusive of the people will never cease or become obsolete.
"Shall not perish from the Earth" is a complex way of saying "Will not disappear from the planet". In the Gettysburg Address, where this phrase is from, Lincoln argues that the US Civil War is a test about whether a democratic nation has any long-term staying power on the Earth.
Abraham Lincoln wrote it, in 1863 on the occasion of dedicating the cemetery at Gettysburg (PA) on November 19. It was part of his short - but famous - address on this occasion, and he ended with the phrase "...that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."
This is part of Lincoln's Gettysburg Address. "government of the people by the people for the people" means "democracy" "shall not perish from this earth" means "will/must not be overthrown/disappear" Thus the fragment of text could be paraphrased = "so that US democracy experiment does not die out"
Abraham Lincoln believed that the job for living was to achieve a greater purpose, which included the pursuit of liberty, equality, and justice for all. He emphasized the importance of working together as a nation to overcome challenges and uphold democratic values. Lincoln famously articulated this vision in speeches such as the Gettysburg Address, where he underscored the commitment to ensuring that government "of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."
That exact phrase comes from Abraham Lincoln's "Gettysburg Address", but the idea that governments can only be legitimate when the people themselves control them is much older. ______________________________________________________________________ Well, somebody's got a way with words! Anyways, the answer is, yes, ABRAHAM Lincoln. Lu, meh!
The people. Exceprt from Lincoln's Gettysburg address puts it nicely: "that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."
