I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN - august 8 - 1900I can conceive of a national destiny surpassing the glories of the present and the past--a destiny which meets the responsibility of today and measures up to the possibilities of the future.Behold a republic, resting securely upon the foundation stones quarried by revolutionary patriots from the mountain of eternal truth--a republic applying in practice and proclaiming to the world the self-evident propositions that all men are created equal; that they are endowed with inalienable rights; that governments are instituted among men to secure these rights, and that governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed.Behold a republic in which civil and religion liberty stimulate all to earnest endeavor and in which the law restrains every hand uplifted for a neighbor's injury--a republic in which every citizen is a sovereign, but in which no one cares to wear a crown.Behold a republic standing erect while empires all around are bowed beneath the weight of their own armaments--a republic whose flag is loved while other flags are only feared.Behold a republic increasing in population, in wealth, in strength and in influence, solving the problems of civilization and hastening the coming of an universal brotherhood --a republic which shakes thrones and dissolves aristocracies by its silent example and gives light and inspiration to those who sit in darkness.Behold a republic gradually but surely becoming the supreme moral factor in the world's progress and the accepted arbiter of the world's disputes--a republic whose history, like the path of the just, "is as the shining light that shineth more and more unto the perfect day!"
