         Franklin D. Roosevelt's First Inaugural Address
    We face the arduous days that lie before us; In the warm courage of the national unity; with the clear consciousness of seeking old and precious moral values; with the clean satisfaction that comes from the stern performance of duty by old and young alike. we aim at the assurance of a rounded and permanent national life. 
    We do not distrust the future of essential democracy. The people of the United States have not failed. In their needs, they have registered a mandate that they want direct, vigorous action. They have asked for discipline and direction under leadership. They have made me the present instrument of their wishes. In the spirit of the gift I take it. 
     May He protect each and everyone of us. May He guide me in the days to come.
