It is now up to us to throw off both lassitude and pessimism. The time has come for action, for agressiveness, for enterprise, for courage, for daring.
 Strong men make opportunities. Strong men do not supinely submit to conditions; they mold them. The roadway has been cleared of almost all the weeds and rocks and swamps begotten by the fatal boom of war. The way is now open for vigorous, forward march.
