We must and will dedicate ourselves as a Nation to continue this effort, and to stand in solidarity with those who resist, until the blessings of democracy, freedom, and respect for human dignity are assured throughout the world.

We have not come this far through lack of strength or any weakness in our resolve, nor has there been anything inevitable about what we've achieved.
