The greatness of this country lies in how every single person can exercise their right to be himself or herself.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
This country was founded upon the principle that we are all endowed with certain inalienable rights to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness - those rights are what make America great, and they belong to each and every one of us.
America's greatness has been the greatness of a free people who shared certain moral commitments. Freedom without moral commitment is aimless and promptly self-destructive.
America's greatness is not found in the size of its government. America's greatness resides in the hearts and the minds of the people.
Every good citizen adds to the strength of a nation.
No one who has come to true greatness has not felt in some degree that his life belongs to the people, and what God has given them he gives it for mankind.
Greatness lies, not in being strong, but in the right using of strength; and strength is not used rightly when it serves only to carry a man above his fellows for his own solitary glory. He is the greatest whose strength carries up the most hearts by the attraction of his own.
If we want a great nation, we have to change it ourselves.
Human greatness does not lie in wealth or power, but in character and goodness. People are just people, and all people have faults and shortcomings, but all of us are born with a basic goodness.
Greatness consists in deciding only what is necessary for the welfare of the country and making straight for the goal.
In order to be great, you just have to care. You have to care about your world, community, and equality.
