In our American unity, we will pursue two obvious and simultaneous courses; we will extend to the opponents of force the material resources of this nation.

In our personal ambitions we are individualists. But in our seeking for economic and political progress as a nation, we all go up or else all go down as one people.

I hope from the bottom of my heart that as the years go on, in every continent and in every clime, Nation will follow Nation in proving by deed as well as by word their adherence to the ideal of the Americas - I am a good neighbor.

All work undertaken should be useful - not just for a day, or a year, but useful in the sense that it affords permanent improvement in living conditions or that it creates future new wealth for the Nation.

This great Nation will endure as it has endured, will revive and will prosper.

The life of a nation is the fullness of the measure of its will to live.
