We of America are especially fitted to visualize and to understand the marvellous transformation of a wilderness into a land of splendid cities.

But you can travel on for ten thousand miles, and still stay where you are.

The genius of America is that we are still a land of undiscovered shores, and we are at our best when we open our hearts and allow the night winds to bring renewed visions of great deeds.

This sweet, blessed, God-inspired place called America is a champion that has absorbed some blows. But while we bend, we don't break. This is no dark hour; this is the dawn before we remember who we are.

We are a nation of communities... a brilliant diversity spread like stars, like a thousand points of light in a broad and peaceful sky.

Well, I think that as a country, we've drifted away from appreciating the importance of imagination.

Our deeds still travel with us from afar, and what we have been makes us what we are.

We're not lost. We're locationally challenged.

Because of my father, we are that Shining City on a Hill.
