All must share in the productive work of this new beginning....Our government has no power except that granted it by the people...It is my intention to curb the size and influence of the Federal establishment....We’re too great a nation to limit ourselves to small dreams...I do believe in a fate that will fall on us if we do nothing....Let us renew our faith and our hope.

Let that be understood by those who practice terrorism and prey upon their neighbors” - applause. “...we are a nation under God, and believe me God intended for us to be free...”
