A winner is a dreamer who never gives up.

We are determined here in Montgomery to work and fight until justice runs 'down like water, and righteousness like a mighty stream.

We do not retreat. We are not content to stand still. As Americans, we go forward, in the service of our country, by the will of God.

Eight years ago, when the life of this Republic seemed frozen by a fatalistic terror, we proved that this is not true. We were in the midst of shock - but we acted. We acted quickly, boldly, decisively.

With confidence in our armed forces, with the unbounding determination of our people, we will gain the inevitable triumph, so help us God.

No matter how long it may take us to overcome this premeditated invasion, the American people, in their righteous might, will win through to absolute victory.
