I came here tonight not to bury the Congress, but to praise it.

What this Congress has done to meet the responsibility of educating America's youth would of itself assure its rank high in history.

You are symbols of a new world.

From that perspective, when the sun shines in all of its purity, how small, how meaningless seem the differences among men and among nations down below.
