I'm rather fond of this one by Abraham Lincoln:

"It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that the government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."

The tallest president was Lincoln at 6'4".

The shortest was Madison at 5'4".

Thank you for playing! I hope this will be an informative, but fun day. And a refresher course on Presidents. :)
