The challenge is always before us. Whenever we lose sight of the principles that mattered to our founders we run into trouble.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We will not try to replace our founding principles, we will reapply our founding principles.
We have a number of challenges ahead of us.
The challenges of change are always hard. It is important that we begin to unpack those challenges that confront this nation and realize that we each have a role that requires us to change and become more responsible for shaping our own future.
I don't think Philadelphia's challenge is in coming up with great ideas or having great founders. I think the real challenge is keeping them here.
We may be personally defeated, but our principles never!
We are a nation that seeks out solutions and refuses to ignore challenges.
The United States has never been afraid of a challenge. In times of crisis, it is American innovation and ingenuity that has forged the path to progress and prosperity.
I don't subscribe to the idea that the founders or anyone else were somehow better than us and that we have to live up to their example.
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.
While we should never give up our principles, we must also realize that we cannot maintain our principles unless we survive.
