Let there be no illusions about the difficulty of forming this kind of a national community. It's tough, difficult, not easy. But a spirit of harmony will survive in America only if each of us remembers that we share a common destiny.

I have confidence that we can form this kind of national community.

We are a people in a quandary about the present. We are a people in search of our future. We are a people in search of a national community.

We must not become the new puritans and reject our society. We must address and master the future together. It can be done if we restore the belief that we share a sense of national community, that we share a common national endeavor. It can be done.

A nation is formed by the willingness of each of us to share in the responsibility for upholding the common good.

America is the sum of all our journeys as we search for our national community and our national culture.
