We Know That If One

I Believe That In This Generation Those With The Courage To Enter The Conflict Will Find Themselves With Companions In Every Corner Of The World.

The Road Toward Equality Of Freedom Is Not Easy, And Great Cost And Danger March Alongside Us. We Are Committed To Peaceful And Nonviolent Change, And That Is Important For All To Understand - Though All Change Is Unsettling. Still, Even In The Turbulence Of Protest And Struggle Is Greater Hope For The Future, As Men Learn To Claim And Achieve For Themselves The Rights Formerly Petitioned From Others.

This World Demands The Qualities Of Youth; Not A Time Of Life But A State Of Mind, A Temper Of The Will, A Quality Of The Imagination, A Predominance Of Courage Over Timidity, Of The Appetite For Adventure Over The Life Of Ease.

But History Will Judge You, And As The Years Pass, You Will Ultimately Judge Yourself, In The Extent To Which You Have Used Your Gifts And Talents To Lighten And Enrich The Lives Of Your Fellow Men. In Your Hands Lies The Future Of Your World And The Fulfillment Of The Best Qualities Of Your Own Spirit.

But We Can Perhaps Remember, If Only For A Time, That Those Who Live With Us Are Our Brothers, That They Share With Us The Same Short Moment Of Life; That They Seek, As Do We, Nothing But The Chance To Live Out Their Lives In Purpose And In Happiness, Winning What Satisfaction And Fulfillment They Can.
