Do not lose courage in considering your own imperfections. The United States was born in the country and moved to the city in the nineteenth century. If I take care of my character, my reputation will take care of itself. If we want a free and peaceful world, if we want to make the deserts bloom and man grow to greater dignity as a human being-we can do it. Where the willingness is great, the difficulties cannot be great. Time is the rider that breaks youth. Success causes us to be more praised than known.
