If there is anything to take away from this tragedy, it's the reminder that life
is very fragile. Our time here is limited and precious. And what matters at the end of the day is not
the small things; it's not the trivial things, which so often consume us and our daily lives. Ultimately, it's
how we choose to treat one another and how we love one another.

To make it possible for our children, and for our children’s children, to live in a world of peace. To make this country be more than ever a land of opportunity—of equal opportunity, full opportunity for every American. To provide jobs for all who can work, and generous help for those who cannot work. To establish a climate of decency and civility, in which each person respects the feelings and the dignity and the God-given rights of his neighbor. To make this a land in which each person can dare to dream, can live his dreams—not in fear, but in hope—proud of his community, proud of his country, proud of what America has meant to himself and to the world.
