"We observe today not a victory of party but a celebration of freedom- symbolizing an end as well as a beginning-signifying renewal as well as change.For I have sworn before you and Almighty God the same solemn oath our forbearers prescribed nearly a century and three quarters ago.And yet, the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forbearers fought are still at issue today and every day around the globe - the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state but from the hand of God himself.
My fellow citizens of the world: Ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man."
~Inagural Adress-John F. Kennedy~
1961
"I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit together at the table of brotherhood...
I have a dream that one day my four children will be able to live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character."
~I Have a Dream -Martin Luther King Jr.~
August 1963
