America, we have come so far. We have seen so much.
But there is so much more to do. So tonight, let us ask ourselves -
if our children should live to see the next century;

“Our challenges may be new. The instruments with which we meet them may be new. But those values upon which our success depends–hard work and honesty, courage and fair play, tolerance and curiosity, loyalty and patriotism–these things are old. These things are true. They have been the quiet force of progress throughout our history. What is demanded then is a return to these truths.”
- President Barack Obama
