The Only Failures Are Those Who Fail

Whether We Live Together In Confidence And Cohesion; With More Faith And Pride In Ourselves And Less Self-doubt And Hesitation; Strong In The Conviction That The Destiny Of Canada Is To Unite, Not Divide; Sharing In Cooperation, Not In Separation Or In Conflict; Respecting Our Past And Welcoming Our Future.

Under This Flag May Our Youth Find New Inspiration For Loyalty To Canada; For A Patriotism Based Not On Any Mean Or Narrow Nationalism, But On The Deep And Equal Pride That All Canadians Will Feel For Every Part Of This Good Land.

The Only Failures Are Those Who Fail To Try.

The Choice, However, Is As Clear Now For Nations As It Was Once For The Individual: Peace Or Extinction.

The Life Of States Cannot, Any More Than The Life Of Individuals, Be Conditioned By The Force And The Will Of A Unit, However Powerful, But By The Consensus Of A Group, Which Must One Day Include All States.
