Change the Quote Game.

[Alternatehistorybuff5341]

The idea of the game is simple. I post a famouse Historical Quote. The next person makes a single revision to it. They can remove a word, add a word, replace a word or change the intention of the sentence (change from statement to question, move a comma, etc.). Once they do so, they must give an ATL meaning to the new quote. Once the quote has been changed ten times, a new OTL quote may be posted by the tenth revisionist.

Here we go.

With malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in; to bind up the nation's wounds; to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and his orphan—to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace, among ourselves, and with all nations.
