The Torch Of Liberty Is

. . . I Hope That When You're My Age, You'll Be Able To Say As I Have Been Able To Say: We Lived In Freedom, We Lived Lives That Were A Statement, Not An Apology.

My Dream Is That You Will Travel The Road Ahead With Liberty's Lamp Guiding Your Steps And Opportunity's Arm Steadying Your Way.

Ours Was The First Revolution In The History Of Mankind That Truly Reversed The Course Of Government, And With Three Little Words: 'we The People.' 'we The People' Tell The Government What To Do, It Doesn't Tell Us. 'we The People' Are The Driver, The Government Is The Car. And We Decide Where It Should Go, And By What Route, And How Fast. Almost All The World's Constitutions Are Documents In Which Governments Tell The People What Their Privileges Are. Our Constitution Is A Document In Which 'we The People' Tell The Government What It Is Allowed To Do. 'we The People' Are Free.

We In The United States, Above All, Must Remember That Lesson, For We Were Founded As A Nation Of Openness To People Of All Beliefs. And So We Must Remain. Our Very Unity Has Been Strengthened By Our Pluralism. We Establish No Religion In This Country, We Command No Worship, We Mandate No Belief, Nor Will We Ever. Church And State Are, And Must Remain, Separate. All Are Free To Believe Or Not Believe, All Are Free To Practice A Faith Or Not, And Those Who Believe Are Free, And Should Be Free, To Speak Of And Act On Their Belief.

... The Moral Equal Of Our Founding Fathers.
