let there be no illusions about the difficulty of forming this kind of a national community. it's tough, difficult, not easy. but a spirit of harmony will survive

that we share a common destiny
i have confidence that we can form this kind of national community.
i have confidence that the democratic party can lead the way.

we cannot improve on the system of government handed down to us by the founders of the republic. there is no way to improve upon that. but what
we can do is to find new ways to implement that system and realize our destiny
