Our nation is ripe with a multitude of successful people, who have achieved much for themselves with little impact on anyone else.

If we look to the answer as to why for so many years we achieved so much, prospered as no other people on earth, it was because here in this land we unleashed the energy and individual genius of man to a greater extent than has ever been done before. Freedom and the dignity of the individual have been more available and assured here than in any other place on earth. The price for this freedom at times has been high, but we have never been unwilling to pay the price.

Our country is great and we are full of great wealth! We believe in your skills, your qualities and your dedication. Prosperity will transform our common nation and we will all have better days!

We in America have been very fortunate. We've been blessed with a wonderful country and everything and wonderful resources.

The men who succeed are the efficient few. They are the few who have the ambition and will power to develop themselves.

Most successful people are people you’ve never heard of. They want it that way. It keeps them sober. It helps them do their jobs.

the country had respects for its citizens who had done creditably well in their chosen careers.

We are blessed with a great people, people who at every critical moment of choosing have put the interests of the country above their own.

Men of great ambition have sought happiness . . . and have found fame.

This generation of Americans has been tested by crises that steeled our resolve and proved our resilience. [...] America’s possibilities are limitless, for we possess all the qualities that this world without boundaries demands: youth and drive; diversity and openness; an endless capacity for risk and a gift for reinvention. My fellow Americans, we are made for this moment, and we will seize it -- so long as we seize it together. For we, the people, understand that our country cannot succeed when a shrinking few do very well and a growing many barely make it. We believe that America’s prosperity must rest upon the broad shoulders of a rising middle class. We know that America thrives when every person can find independence and pride in their work; when the wages of honest labor liberate families from the brink of hardship. We are true to our creed when a little girl born into the bleakest poverty knows that she has the same chance to succeed as anybody else, because she is an American; she is free, and she is equal, not just in the eyes of God but also in our own.
