That is the only way we can preserve our freedom. That is the only way that we can be worthy of being at peace. And this will take great sacrifice, for you cannot destroy without eventually having to
build up again. We don't seem to have learned a great deal from the destruction which we've been through before. But it will come to us in time. For what you destroy, you have to build again.
And if we are fortunate enough to be at peace, it will be our job to give; to give of ourselves, give of what we have. And I believe that it's the woman of tomorrow who has the responsibility of making herself the kind of person who can help her nation and her people to make a better future.
