We have nothing less to do than to get inside of whole peoples and change their motives and dispositions.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Make a difference about something other than yourselves.
If we want to change what people think of us, then we have got to change.
There are better ways we can transform this virulent hatred - by living our ideals, the Peace Corps, exchange students, teachers, exporting our music, poetry, blue jeans.
It's not about changing people; it's sometimes about changing a situation. How can we build an even better situation for them?
All of us want to have meaning in our lives and want to feel like we're doing something that makes a difference. I believe we're doing that in the Justice Department.
The last thing we need is to turn in on ourselves rather than face us up to what we have to do in the world.
We have nothing in our history or position to invite aggression; we have everything to beckon us to the cultivation of relations of peace and amity with all nations.
We're all spending way too much of our time and energy trying to fight the stuff we can't change.
We must bring unity of spirit and purpose and condemn hatred and division wherever we see it.
We shall all respect the principles of each other and do nothing that would be regarded as an act of oppression to any portion of the people.
