At The Dawn Of The 21st Century,

Strength And Wisdom Are Not Opposing Values.

In Our Own Country, We Have Seen America Pay A Terrible Price For Any Form Of Discrimination, And We Have Seen Us Grow Stronger As We Have Steadily Let More And More Of Our Hatreds And Our Fears Go. As We Have Given More And More Of Our People The Chance To Live Their Dreams. That Is Why The Flame Of Our Statue Of Liberty, Like The Olympic Flame Carried All Across America By Thousands Of Citizen Heroes Will Always Burn Brighter Than The Flames That Burn Our Churches, Our Synagogues, Our Mosques.

You Live In The Age Of Interdependence. Borders Don't Count For Much Or Stop Much, Good Or Bad, Anymore.

I Don't Think I Would Have Become President If It Were Not For My School Music Program.

Ultimately, The Best Strategy To Ensure Our Security And To Build A Durable Peace Is To Support The Advance Of Democracy Elsewhere. Democracies Don't Attack Each Other.
