We dare not forget today that we are the heirs of that first revolution. Let the world go forth
from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new
generation of Americans, born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter
peace, proud of our ancient heritage, and unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing of
those human rights to which this nation has always been committed, and to which we are
committed today at home and around the world.
Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear
any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and
the success of liberty.
The much we pledge - and more. To those old allies whose cultural and spiritual origins
we share, we pledge the loyalty of faithful friends. United there is little we cannot do in the host
of cooperative ventures. Divided there is little we can do; for we dare not meet a powerful
challenge at odds and split asunder.
To those new states whom we welcome to the ranks of the free, we pledge our word that
one form of colonial control shall not have passed away merely to be replaced by a far more iron
tyranny. We shall not always expect to find them supporting our view. But we shall always hopeto find them strongly supporting their own freedom; and to remember that, in the past, those who
foolishly sought power by riding the back of the tiger ended up inside.
