INSCRIPTION, n. Something written on another thing. Inscriptions are of many kinds, but mostly memorial, intended to commemorate the fame of some illustrious person and hand down to distant ages the record of his services and virtues. To this class of inscriptions belongs the name of John Smith, penciled on the Washington monument. Following are examples of memorial inscriptions on tombstones: (See EPITAPH.)

"In the sky my soul is found, And my body in the ground. By and by my body'll rise To my spirit in the skies, Soaring up to Heaven's gate.
1878."

"Sacred to the memory of Jeremiah Tree. Cut down May 9th, 1862, aged 27 yrs. 4 mos. and 12 ds. Indigenous."

"Affliction sore long time she boar, Phisicians was in vain, Till Deth released the dear deceased And left her a remain. Gone to join Ananias in the regions of bliss."

"The clay that rests beneath this stone As Silas Wood was widely known. Now, lying here, I ask what good It was to let me be S. Wood. O Man, let not ambition trouble you, Is the advice of Silas W."

"Richard Haymon, of Heaven. Fell to Earth Jan. 20, 1807, and had the dust brushed off him Oct. 3, 1874."

Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914)

MONUMENT, n. A structure intended to commemorate something which either needs no commemoration or cannot be commemorated.

The bones of Agammemnon are a show, And ruined is his royal monument,

but Agammemnon's fame suffers no diminution in consequence. The monument custom has its _reductiones ad absurdum_ in monuments "to the unknown dead" --that is to say, monuments to perpetuate the memory of those who have left no memory.

Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914)

It puts into instant peril the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument and the Mall itself.

John loved this community and he loved the people he wrote about. In his eyes and in his heart, he viewed all the kids he covered as 'his kids.' He was a great talent, but an even better person. Through the Daily Light John Hicks Memorial Scholarship, we can help John pass the torch that he carried so well.

I learned that Martin Luther King was buried in the Lincoln Memorial, and I didn't know the monument was so close to the Lincoln Memorial.

Michael Haynes

Everybody's got 10 people penciled in here, 10 people penciled in there. Wow, we've played three games and I don't know what the hell we're doing yet, to be honest with you. But I'll tell you one thing: We're not going to give jobs away.

Jim Leyland

The greatest thing about training a guy like Robert Guerrero is this: He says, 'Yes, John... whatever you say, John.' When I tell him to do something, he just does it. There's no discussion. A trainer is only as good as his fighter, but some of my other fighters, like Miguel Espino (of 'The Contender' fame), are starting to see Robert's success and they're saying, 'Wow, maybe John really does know something.' Well, gee, thanks -- I've only been in this business for about 28 years.

John Bray

So, if you look up John Smith you can see what a woman says about John Smith and you can see whatever John Smith says about whatever was posted.

This year our Memorial Day activities are especially poignant as "The Greatest Generation" joins us to dedicate the World War II Memorial on the grounds of the National Mall in Washington, DC The World War II Memorial will stand before us as a constant reminder of the great sacrifices and triumphs of a very special class of Americans.

Lane Evans

John is working very hard, hand-in-glove with Washington on this.

Nicholas Burns

It's not an imposed idea at all. Not like the Washington Monument, an Egyptian idea. Not like the Jefferson and Lincoln memorials, Greek or Roman or copies of other times. It's a place that is of this time, of this era. I think of it as an American monument to a great American president.

Lawrence Halprin

We have a beautiful memorial monument and we're very proud of it. But, rather than being so general, we want to pay honor to individuals, name by name.

Jim Miller

The martyr cannot be dishonored. Every lash inflicted is a tongue of fame; every prison a more illustrious abode.

Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882)
