No one has a right to what is not his or hers. The right to enjoy what is ours depends on our respecting the right of others to enjoy what is theirs. To share with others our appreciation of the benefits and obligations of freedom. Freedom shared is freedom strengthened. To participate constructively in the nation's political life.
Democracy depends on an active citizenry.
It depends equally on an informed citizenry. To help freedom survive by assuming personal responsibility for its defense. Our nation cannot survive unless we defend it. Its security rests on the individual determination of each of us to help preserve it. To respect the rights and to meet the responsibilities on which our liberty rests and our democracy depends.
