Now I Can Go Back To Being

At The Heart Of That Western Freedom And Democracy Is The Belief That The Individual Man...is The Touchstone Of Value, And All Society, All Groups, And States, Exist For That Person's Benefit. Therefore The Enlargement Of Liberty For Individual Human Beings Must Be The Supreme Goal And The Abiding Practice Of Any Western Society.

Few Men Are Willing To Brave The Disapproval Of Their Fellows, The Censure Of Their Colleagues, The Wrath Of Their Society. Moral Courage Is A Rarer Commodity Than Bravery In Battle Or Great Intelligence. Yet It Is The One Essential, Vital Quality For Those Who Seek To Change The World Which Yields Most Painfully To Change.

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.

...the Gross National Product Does Not Allow For The Health Of Our Children, The Quality Of Their Education Or The Joy Of Their Play. It Does Not Include The Beauty Of Our Poetry Or The Strength Of Our Marriages, The Intelligence Of Our Public Debate Or The Integrity Of Our Public Officials. It Measures Neither Our Wit Nor Our Courage, Neither Our Wisdom Nor Our Learning, Neither Our Compassion Nor Our Devotion To Our Country, It Measures Everything In Short, Except That Which Makes Life Worthwhile.

We Develop The Kind Of Citizens We Deserve.
