I Am Not One Of Those Who

The Gross National Product Includes Air Pollution And Advertising For Cigarettes, And Ambulances To Clear Our Highways Of Carnage. It Counts Special Locks For Our Doors, And Jails For The People Who Break Them ... It Does Not Allow For The Health Of Our Families, The Quality Of Thier Education, Or The Joy Of Their Play.

Our Answer Is The World's Hope; It Is To Rely On Youth. The Cruelties And The Obstacles Of This Swiftly Changing Planet Will Not Yield To Obsolete Dogmas And Outworn Slogans. It Cannot Be Moved By Those Who Cling To A Present Which Is Already Dying, Who Prefer The Illusion Of Security To The Excitement And Danger Which Comes With Even The Most Peaceful Progress. This World Demands The Qualities Of Youth: Not A Time Of Life But A State Of Mind, A Temper Of The Will, A Quality Of Imagination, A Predominance Of Courage Over Timidity, Of The Appetite For Adventure Over The Life Of Ease...

Our Future May Lie Beyond Our Vision, But It Is Not Completely Beyond Our Control. It Is The Shaping Impulse Of America That Neither Fate Nor Nature Nor The Irresistible Tides Of History, But The Work Of Our Own Hands, Matched To Reason And Principle, That Will Determine Our Destiny. There Is Pride In That, Even Arrogance, But There Is Also Experience And Truth. In Any Event, It Is The Only Way We Can Live.

All Of Us Will Ultimately Be Judged On The Effort We Have Contributed To Building A New World Order.

Your Life Can Be Anything You Want It To Be.
