Today, we stand as a united country and are much closer to the ideals set forth in our Constitution that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

The pursuit of happiness is in our Constitution. We're all entitled to have the best we can.

The equal right of all citizens to health, education, work, food, security, culture, science, and wellbeing - that is, the same rights we proclaimed when we began our struggle, in addition to those which emerge from our dreams of justice and equality for all inhabitants of our world - is what I wish for all.

The Constitution guarantees us our rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That's all. It doesn't guarantee our rights to charity.

If liberty and equality, as is thought by some, are chiefly to be found in democracy, they will be best attained when all persons alike share in government to the utmost.

It is becoming more widely acknowledged that it is better to have a good constitution than not having a perfect one.

Together, we can build the kind of world in which we all seek to live, one of universal equality and justice.

The happy Union of these States is a wonder; their Constitution a miracle; their example the hope of Liberty throughout the world.

As the Constitution endures, persons in every generation can invoke its principles in their own search for greater freedom.
