It's not an imposed proverb

 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.

  Ambrose Bierce

 Those who talk of the Bible as a 'monument of English prose' are merely admiring it as a monument over the grave of Christianity.
  T.S. Eliot

 So many of the pilots had been to the foundry while we were creating the monument. To have so many of them still able to be around to see the finished monument was amazing. They all came to look at the lettering panel to see their names.

 His real monument is 60 Minutes . He is truly an innovator in this business. I still believe Don deserves the credit for it [the idea of the news magazine format]; it is an innovative format no one had done before.

 A public library is the most enduring of memorials, the trustiest monument for the preservation of an event or a name or an affection; for it, and it only, is respected by wars and revolutions, and survives them
  Mark Twain
