The torch America carries is one of decency and hope. It is not America's torch alone. But it is America's duty - and honor - to hold it high enough that all the world can see its light.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
America must be a light to the world, not just a missile.
America's honor, your honor is at stake. Go out and preserve the greatest country in the history of the world.
As the war on terror continues, Americans must honor the brave men and women who gave their lives for the protection of this nation and the hope of peace.
I believe America is the most powerful country in the world and is a country that stands on principle. Its principles are enshrined in its very foundation and constitution, and it has a duty to serve humanity. America has a duty to follow its conscience to reject repression. It must reject oppression. It must reject humiliation.
Yesterday the flame of the Olympic torch was carried through our great state on its way to Salt Lake City.
I want to light the lights of patriotism.
We just say things differently in Australia - like torch. I'd ask, 'Can I have the torch?' It seems to fall flat when I say, 'Can I have the flashlight?'
I feel like it's my job to carry the torch.
Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans - born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace.
We cannot hold a torch to light another's path without brightening our own.
