Talk:unrequited

Lincoln
used this term in, and i wanted to add the relevant passage to the list of quotes on this article, but i am not sure of the right wikicode for doing so. Also, the quote i was thinking of adding was rather long, 86 words:
 * Fondly do we hope, fervently do we pray, that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away. Yet, if God wills that it continue until all the wealth piled by the bondsman's two hundred and fifty years of unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be paid by another drawn with the sword, as was said three thousand years ago, so still it must be said "the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether."

Should i post a shortened version of said passage, possibly shortened with ellipses (...)? Or should i omit the sentence, "Fondly do we hope, fervently do we pray, that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away."? I thought of including said sentence, because it is one of the better-known passages in said speech, and knowing that it occurs right before said use of the word unrequited, might be seen as valuable in terms of providing further context.
