Individually, we've taken the world on and won; together, we must take on the challenge of creating a new, peaceful, humane and competitive nation and prevail.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Every action we take, everything we do, is either a victory or defeat in the struggle to become what we want to be.
Today, the biggest challenge we must meet is the one we present to ourselves. To not become a nation that places entitlement ahead of accomplishment. To not become a country that places comfortable lies ahead of difficult truths. To not become a people that thinks so little of ourselves that we demand no sacrifice from each other.
We improve ourselves by victories over ourselves. There must be contest, and we must win.
Together, we will determine the course of America and the world for years to come. We will face challenges. We will confront hardships. But we will get the job done.
We live in a time today where we face fierce global competition.
Let us return, however, to the League of Nations. To create an organization which is in a position to protect peace in this world of conflicting interests and egotistic wills is a frighteningly difficult task.
We must take the world as it is and not as we would like it to be.
Together, we can create a world in which peace is real; in which every human being can thrive; in which all share the promise of our century. I believe we can succeed.
We are engaged in a struggle that is fought on many fronts and in many forms.
What prevails in every corner of this globalized world is the real struggle of our species for its own survival.
