Our Nation is strongest when we're true to our fundamental values.

Let each of us resolve to do what we can to be peacemakers.

I'm convinced that working together in good faith, this effort can be successful.

I believe we can only move forward if we do it together.

It is up to the rest of us to support you as well as we possibly can.

It is crazy for us to be divided by race, by region, by income, in any way that saps our strength.

Nothing we do will make us invulnerable, but we all can become less vulnerable if we work together.

I hope they'll remember the spirit of the season, the spirit we all feel right now.

It is not only morally the right thing to do, it is a gold mine for us if we will turn away from those who would divide us.

Let all of us who want to stand up against racism do our part to roll back the divide.

We want to do this in a way that will bring the American people together, not tear the American people apart.

We have to face the future together, because we're going to live in a global society.

Learn to respect each other's differences and to work together.

This country never got anywhere being divided against one another.

Old divisions melted away as our people turned to the job of liberating the world and then to the task of creating a better future at home.

We have to continue to work together.

It is fitting that not far from here two rivers come together to form the powerful Rideau Falls, much like the strength of our two nations increase as we join together.

With our eyes closed, we can all still see the flag rising atop the hill.
