That is America. That is America. Those bonds of affection; that common creed. We don't fear the future; we shape it. We embrace it, as one people, stronger together than we are on our own.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Americans are not afraid of the future.
Americans' great and secret fear is that America may turn out to be a phenomenon rather than a civilization.
We need not be afraid of the future, for the future will be in our own hands.
This future is ours to embrace. Whether we, the established generations, choose to accept that is in our court.
We Americans have always felt a special kinship with the future.
What people recognize is that there's a fear that the United States is in an unstoppable decline. They see the rise of China, the rise of India, the rise of the Soviet Union and our loss militarily going forward.
We are a nation of people who are afraid we are not enough.
America, I am a strong believer that how we treat each other matters.
The whole world depends on America ultimately, particularly Britain. And also, I love America - a marvelous country. But in a sense I don't worry about America because I think America has such huge strengths - particularly its freedom of thought and expression - that it's going to survive as a top nation for the foreseeable future.
We have the American people properly concerned about the future of our country and the world.
