01/New Change for Americans
This has been a time of dramatic transformation,
and you have risen to every new change.
You have made our social fabric stronger,
our family healthier and safer
and people more prosperous.
You, the American people, have made our passage
into the global information age,
an era of great American renew.
02/ To Live Over Again
If I had my life to live over again,
I would make it a rule
to read some poetry and listen to some music
at least once every week.
03/ Turn the-other-check
Like most Christian boys,
I wanted to be like Jesus Christ.Tr
I could never the turn-the-other-cheek thing down
though.
04/ Be Yourself
Work like you don't need the money.
Love like you've never been hurt.
Dance like nobody is watching.
Live like it's heaven on Earth.
05/ Father's Credit
The fundamental defect of fathers is
that they want their children to be
credit to them.
06/ The Happiest Miser
The happiest miser on earth is
the man who saves up every friend
he can make with.
07/ Different Thought
It's when you're safe at home
that you wish you were having an adventure
outside your home.
When you're having an adventure
outside your home,
you wish you were safe
at your home.
08/ Die Rich, Die Disgrace
The day is not far distant
<when> the man {who dies leaving behind him
millions of available wealth},
{which was free to him to administer
during life},
will pass away unwept, dishonored, and unsung
no matter what he leaves the dross
{which he cannot take away with him}.
Of such as these the public verdict
will then be: "The man {who dies thus rich}
dies disgraced.
09/ My Belief
First of all, let me assert my firm belief
{that the only thing}
{that we have to fear is fear itself}:
nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror
{that paralyzes needed efforts
to convert retreat into advance}
10/ I defend your right to say it
I disapprove of what you say,
but I will defend <to the death>
your right to say it.
11/ Demoncracy
Man's capacity (for justice)
makes democracy possible,
but man's inclination (to injustice)
makes democracy necessary.
12/ Choice
Here is the problem
{which I present to you}
stark and dreadful and inescapable:
Shall we put an end to the human race
or shall mankind renounce war?
People will not face this alternative
because it is so difficult to abolish war.
I appeal, <as a human being to human beings>:
remember your humanity, and forget the rest.
If you can do so,
the way lies open to a new Paradise;
if you cannot,
nothing lies before you
but universal death.
