If brevity is the soul of wit, perhaps it is also of history. This from the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia, and SMITH magazine:
The National Constitution Center and SMITH Magazine ask you to help President-elect Obama inspire America. In six words, give him guidance.Offer ideas for his inaugural address. Six memorable words for January 20th. In six words, a President can say a lot: "Malice toward none, charity for all,"(Abraham Lincoln, 1865) "Nothing to fear but fear itself," (Franklin Roosevelt, 1933) "Like a thousand points of light." (George H.W. Bush, 1989) So give your speech writing a try. Authors of our judges' six favorite submissions will win a six-word memoir book from SMITH Magazine, a year's membership to the National Constitution Center, and have their words forwarded to President-elect Obama's speech writers. One grand prize winner will also win a leather bound volume of the Constitution.
