It is the awareness of unfulfilled desires which gives a nation the feeling that it has a mission and a destiny.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Once imbued with the idea of a mission, a great nation easily assumes that it has the means as well as the duty to do God's work.
It is the State which educates its citizens in civic virtue, gives them a consciousness of their mission and welds them into unity.
Our vision and commitment is towards the country's progress, its place in the world and the happiness of its people.
I think that whenever a nation feels itself to be at is zenith, it starts to feel a creeping sense of anxiety.
My greatest desire is that the hope that has overcome fear in my country will help vanquish it around the world.
We have a hunger of the mind which asks for knowledge of all around us, and the more we gain, the more is our desire; the more we see, the more we are capable of seeing.
The spirit and determination of the people to chart their own destiny is the greatest power for good in human affairs.
The one thing I am now sure of is that if there is such a thing as destiny, it is a result of our passion, be that for money, power, or love. Passion, for better or worse.
To desire and strive to be of some service to the world, to aim at doing something which shall really increase the happiness and welfare and virtue of mankind - this is a choice which is possible for all of us; and surely it is a good haven to sail for.
Our nation is defined by an unshakable belief that we, the people, have the ability to control our destiny. A belief that anyone can reach out and grab opportunity and create a more prosperous future for themselves, their children and their grandchildren.
