I'm always put in mind of the Biblical phrase about the stone that the builders rejected, and it becomes the foundation stone. But who managed to produce a statesman who spoke to the heart of America's conscience and the truth of American ideals better than anyone who has ever lived in this nation. And I believe, I believe that we, all of us together here as Americans have a special mission as a result of his words and his example. A mission to carry forward that truth, and to do it on the basis that he understood. That justice in the end is not just about what we do or don't do.
Justice is about love.
Love understood not as a feeling, but as a commitment to do what is right. Love understood as having at its heart a faith, not just in ourselves, but in our Almighty God. And in His truth, and in His mercy, and in His will. Today, more than perhaps at any time in our history I think this nation needs to be called back to that understanding of justice which is love and that heart of love which is our faith in God. As you will bring it from the heart of our experience once again to the heart of the American people.
