We all have a responsibility to foster a climate of reconciliation and peace.

That escapism is not available to us.

We believe that we ought to be building a bridge to the future wide enough and strong enough for everybody to walk across who is responsible enough to do their own part.

Opportunity for all, responsibility from all, and coming together in a stronger American community.

It would have been unconscionable for us to walk away from our continuing commitment to that.

We know that when we do take responsibility we can meet the difficult challenges like crime, welfare, and poverty.

Our first and most fundamental duty is to bring a child into the world.

I just think it's not responsible for any President just to not be engaged in it.

We've done it by trying to meet our challenges and protect our values with a simple little strategy: opportunity for all, responsibility from all.

The strategy of opportunity for all, responsibility from all, and a community which includes all people who are willing to do their part is plainly working.

If we keep our economy strong, if we educate our young people, if we protect our environment, and if we fulfill our responsibilities to one another, then we will build that bridge to the 21st century.

Let us renew our resolve to participate actively in the process of government, to stay informed and committed, and to educate our children about the privileges and responsibilities of citizenship.

This system will work if you will make it work.

This is about your responsibilities.

The most important job in this country is still to raise good children and support families.

This law also recognizes that with freedom comes responsibility.

But we have to balance the budget in a way that reflects our most fundamental values: increasing opportunity; asking everyone to assume responsibility; strengthening our families and the economy; and recognizing the duty we owe to each other.

We owe that to the American people.
