"In great deeds something abides. On great fields something stays. Forms change and pass; bodies disappear; but spirits linger, to consecrate ground for the vision place of souls. And reverent men and women from afar, and generations that know us not and that we know not of, heart-drawn to see where and by whom great things were suffered and done for them, shall come to see this deathless field, to ponder and dream, and lo! the shadow of a mighty presence shall wrap them in its bosom, and the power of the vision pass into their souls."--Joshua Chamberlain at Gettysburg, October 3, 1889

"They that love beyond the world cannot be separated by it.
Death is but crossing the world, as friends do the seas;
They live in one another still." -William Penn
