But we cannot just take this historical fact for granted. We must make it live.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We would like to live as we once lived, but history will not permit it.
In fact history does not belong to us; but we belong to it.
If we are to preserve culture we must continue to create it.
To achieve great things we must live as though we were never going to die.
We live, not as we wish to, but as we can.
We don't want tradition. We want to live in the present and the only history that is worth a tinker's dam is the history we make today.
We must take the world as it is and not as we would like it to be.
We can either build on the greatness of America or we can fade off into history.
We are not makers of history. We are made by history.
You can't live in history. You've got to build for the future.
