Question

Read Lincoln’s statement from "The Gettysburg Address."

The world will little note, nor long remember, what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here.

Which point is Lincoln trying to make?

As time passes, people will not remember the speech of the soldiers.
The progress made by the soldiers has more impact than words.
The world does not care about the soldiers’ actions.
Speeches have more importance and lasting power than actions.

Answer 1

"The progress made by the soldiers has more impact than words."

Lincoln’s point is that the speech will be soon forgotten, but the soldiers’ deeds (their sacrifice) will be long remembered — actions endure longer and matter more than words.
