The American presidential inaugural speeches

Obama's 2013 inaugural speech

  

    [Liu Chengtao] officials speak according to how many people can really participate in, how much can really applause, depends on his speaking human language or dialect, jargon. Victory speech and speech American president, has been my most loved reading text. Listen to the speech, read these carefully written words, we can feel, America home is the world's most powerful and most desirable state, not because it has the most powerful guns and most massive money bag, but this country for hundreds of years light Pu Luo mass and shiny democracy the rule of law, free, universal values.

   China diplomacy hadRepeated batch USA is "World Police", in fact, just imagine, from the individual to the state, who do not want a hundred responses to a hundreds, see his face all day? Chinese don't want? Think, want to. The problem is, what to maintain the people to the status and identity? There is America influence its objective necessity, America for universal values to adhere to and practice, to his country people pain care, is the real magic weapon to maintain its strong position and identity. Chinese rulers to remain invincible, realize national rejuvenation, then one loves what is his own. engage in "five no", then to "go astray", is absolutely impossible.

   

   Thank you, thank you very much. Vice President Biden, Mr. chief justice, members of Congress, distinguished guests, fellow citizens.

Every time we gather to celebrate the inauguration is the enduring power of witness America constitution. We are sure American democratic commitments. We reaffirm, bringing this country together is not the color of our skin, also is not our doctrinal beliefs, source is not in our name. Let us out of the ordinary, let us become Americans are we for an idea to the. 200 years ago, this idea in an article in the declaration was clearly stated:

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal. They are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, including life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."

Today, we continue the unfinished journey, the bridge between the idea and reality of our times. Because history tells us, even if these truths to be self-evident, they never take effect automatically. Because although freedom is God's gift, but still need the people to defend. In 1776, USA patriotic pioneers not only fight for overthrow the tyranny, not to win the privilege of a few people, a mob rule. Pioneers who left us a republic, a government "of the people, by the people, government. They commissioned each generation of Americans to defend our founding credo.

In the past 200 years, we did.

From the bloody rope bondage, and the sword of blood light fight we know, based on freedom and equality principle of federal cannot maintain half slave and half free state forever. We won the freshmen, vowed to move forward together.

Our common efforts, establish a modern economic system. Erection of railway and highway, accelerate travel and business communication. To build the school and University, training our workers.

We found that, the free market prosperity can only be based on the protection of competition and the principle of fair competition.

We resolve to make this great country from danger, to protect her people against life threatening and unfortunate infestation. Along the way, we never give up on the question of centralization. We also do not succumb to this lie: all social problems can only rely on the government to solve. The positive and enterprising praise, our hard work and personal responsibility to, these are the basic meaning USA spirit.

We also understand that, in the era of change, we also need to change. On the spirit of loyalty, we need to assume new responsibilities, to meet new challenges. Protecting our personal freedom, joint efforts will eventually need to all people. Because Americans no longer has to meet the challenges of today's world, as USA soldiers can not be like the predecessors, with rifles and the militia with the enemy (fascism and communism) operations. A person can not training of mathematics and science teachers of all, we need to educate the children for their future. One cannot build roads, laying network, establish the laboratory to bring new jobs and business opportunities for domestic. Now, more than ever, we need more solidarity and cooperation. As a nation, a nation to unite.

This generation of Americans experienced a crisis, economic crisis strengthened our determination, we proved the restoring force. Ten years of the war is ending, the economic recovery has begun. American possibility is unlimited, because we have no quality of all boundary world needs: young with the vigor, diversity and openness, the infinite spirit of adventure and talent to create. My fellow Americans, we are born to the moment, we should be more in the moment of unity, to seize the current opportunity.

Because we, USA people, clear if a few people only shrinking to succeed, and most people can not succeed, our country cannot succeed. We believe that, American prosperity must be based on the broad arms rising middle class, we know only so as to achieve the American prosperity. Only when everyone can find work in self-reliance and pride. Only when the honest labor pay enough to get rid of the poor families in order to achieve the cliff. We are loyal to our cause, ensure that a born in the poor environment in the small girl can know, she has a chance of success, like all the other people. Because she is an American, she is a free, equal. Her freedom and equality is not only to witness by God, even by us own protection.

We know, we have the old program is insufficient to meet the needs of the times. We must apply new concepts and new technology to reshape our government, improve our tax law, reform our schools, our citizens have the skills they need, to work hard, learn more knowledge, to the higher local development. It means change, our goal is: countries can reward every American and decisive efforts.

This is needed right now. This will give real meaning to our creed.

We, the people, still think, every citizen should have basic safety and dignity. We must make a difficult choice, reduce the medical cost, reduce the size of the deficit. But we refuse to have to make a choice in the care of the State Construction of this generation and investment is building the country's next generation. As we remember the lessons of the past: the elderly sunset time spent in poverty, a disabled children's parents have no place to turn. We believe that, in this country, the freedom is not only the lucky exclusive, or happiness only belongs to a minority. We know that, no matter how we are to live responsible, anyone of us may face the risk of unemployment, destroy the sudden illness or housing by the terrible hurricane at any time.

We promised to everyone through Medicare, the federal Medicaid, social security project, these will not let our creativity failure, but will make us strong. They won't let us be full of freeloaders country, these let us dare to take risks, make the country a great.

We, the people, still believe, that we as Americans obligations not only for ourselves, but also to the future generations. We will deal with the threat of climate change, recognizing the measures are not taken to deal with climate change is to our children and grandchildren betrayal. Some people may still be negative scientific circles overwhelming judgment, but no one can avoid the disastrous fire, severe drought, more powerful storms. The way to the utilization of renewable energy is long, it is sometimes difficult to. But America cannot resist this trend, we must lead the trend. We can't put the technology to create new jobs and new industries of other countries, we must make the commitment. This will be our keep economic vitality and the wealth of Nations (farmland and Xuefeng our forests and waterways, our) method. This will be our way to protect our planet, God give it to us to take care of. This will be our founding fathers declared credo meaning.

We, the people, still believe that security and lasting peace, do not require continuous war. Our brave men and women suffered fire test, their skills and courage are unmatched. Our citizens still remember those who died, they know very well we pay for freedom. Understand that their sacrifice will let us always to those who are trying to hurt US forces stay alert. But we are also those who win the peace rather than war people's offspring, they will be enemies into the most reliable friend, we must also give the experience to the age.

We will adopt a strong military and legal system to protect our people, to defend our values. We will show to the peaceful settlement of differences with other countries of courage, but it is not because we are naive to the risk attitude, but because the contact to be more durable and resolve doubts and fears. USA will maintain a strong alliance in the world, we will update these can expand our ability to deal with crisis of overseas institutions. As the most powerful country in the world, we have the greatest interest in world peace. We will support to Africa, from America to the Middle East democratic countries from Asia, because our interests and our conscience compelled us to represent people who want to free people to take action. We must become the poverty, disease, by the people, the marginalization of the dissident victims hope comes, not out of charity, but also because of this era of peace need to continuously advance our common faith in the principles: tolerance and opportunity, human dignity and justice.

We, the people, today that the fact is that -- and all of us are born equal, this is still leading our star. It guides our ancestors through the New York Seneca Falls (Feminist protest), Selma (black power events) and the Stonewall riots (gay and police violence occurred), leading to all the men and women, leave your name and not leaving the name of the people. In the great journey, a footprint left by the people on the way. Once heard a pastor said, we cannot walk alone. Martin Luther King said, our personal freedom and the earth every soul freedom inseparable.

To continue the cause pioneered by our people of this generation task. Until our wives, mothers and daughters pay to commensurate with their efforts, our journey will end. Our journey will not come to an end, we let the gay brothers and sisters get treatment with others of the same under the law. If we really are equal, so our love for each other should be equal. Our journey has not ended, until there is no citizen need to wait hours to exercise their right to vote. Our journey is not the end, until we find a better way to meet the effort, a vision of immigration, they are still regarded America is a land of opportunity. Students and engineers until bright young as we use, instead of being expelled from the USA. Our journey is not the end, until we are all children, from the streets of Detroit to the Appalachian Mountains, and then to the new town quiet alley in Connecticut, until they get the care and cherish, never hurt.

It is our task of this generation -- that life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness ", the power and value embody in every American who. Our text does not require us to be everyone's life consistent. This does not mean, we will be in exactly the same way to define freedom, along the same road leading to happiness. About the role of government since the progress does not terminate the centuries has been entangled, but this requires us to take action now.

At present is in our decision, we should not delay. We can not be absolute as principle, or a false impression instead of politics, or slander as rational argument. We must act, be aware that our work is not perfect. We must act, realize that today's victory is not complete. These will depend on the next 4 years, 40 years or 400 years committed to the cause of the people, to promote in the Philadelphia convention hall inheritance to the eternal spirit of our.

My American compatriots, I before you read the oath today, like other human service on Capitol Hill have previously read the oath, for God and country oath, not to the party or faction, we must in the term faithfully honor these commitments. But the oath and soldiers enlist today I read or is not much difference between the read immigrant dreams. My oath and all of us to fly above us, let us be proud flag expression pledge has not much difference.

These are the citizenship oath, representing our greatest hope.

You and I, as a citizen of this country, has set the power on the road.

You and I, as a citizen, has the obligation to shape our era proposition, not only through our votes, but also to voice to defend the oldest values and enduring ideals.

Now let us embrace each other, with a solemn duty and very happy, this is our eternal birthright. With joint efforts and common goals, with enthusiasm and dedication, let us answer the call of history, the precious freedom light into the uncertain future.

Thank you, God bless you, and may God bless the United States of america.

 

 

Obama's 2009 inaugural speech

My fellow citizens:

I stand here today, humbled by the task before us, grateful for the trust you have, mindful of the sacrifices our ancestors. Thank Bush president for his service to our nation, also thanks to the generosity and cooperation he has shown throughout this transition.

So far there have been 44 Americans was sworn in as president. The words appeared during rising tides of prosperity and the water calm peace, of course, also often appear in Uyunmi Bbu and a dangerous situation when. At these moments, America has carried on, this is not only because of the skill or prophetic vision, but because we the people have remained faithful to the ideals of our forbearers, and true to our founding documents. This is the past, this generation of Americans will still persist in doing so.

As everyone knows, we are in the midst of crisis. Our nation is at war against a far-reaching network of violence and hatred. Our economy is badly weakened, this is some people a consequence of greed and irresponsibility, but to make hard choices and prepare the nation for a new age, our collective failure. Homes have been lost; jobs shed; businesses shuttered; our health care is too costly; our schools fail too many; you can find more evidence that the ways we use energy strengthen our adversaries and threaten every day, our planet.

These data and statistics are the indicators of crisis. Less measurable, but profound is a sapping of confidence across our land - a nagging fear that America's decline is inevitable, and that the next generation must lower its sights. Today I want to say to you is, the challenges we face are real. Many of these challenges, and very serious, they will not be met easily or can be resolved in short time. But we must also recognize that, American, will solve these problems.

Today, we are gathered here, because we have chosen hope over fear, unity of purpose over conflict and disagreement. Today, we come to proclaim an end to the petty grievances and false promises, the recriminations and worn these strangled our politics. We remain a young nation, but now should abandon childish behavior, to reaffirm our enduring spirit; to choose our better history; to carry forward that precious and noble idea, and it is passed on from generation to generation. The God given promise that all are equal, all are free, and all deserve a chance to pursue happiness.

In reaffirming the greatness of our nation, we must understand, greatness is never a given, but depends on us to strive for. Our journey has never been one of shortcuts, do not belong to the faint hearted - for those who prefer leisure over work, or simply the pursuit of wealth fame. For us, they packed up their few worldly possessions and traveled across oceans in search of a new life; for us, they toiled in sweatshops, endured the lash of the whip and plowed the hard earth; for us, they are like Concord, Gettysburg, bottom and so on place Norman fought and died.

These men and women kept fighting and sacrifice, worked till their hands were raw so, just to live a better life. In their eyes, America than the sum of our individual ambitions are more important, more important than among all birth, wealth or sectarian differences. This is the journey we continue today. We are still the most prosperous, powerful nation. When the crisis began, our workers are no less productive; our minds are no less inventive; we now needed goods and services, and no more than last week, last month or last year to reduce our productivity did not decrease. Starting today, we must pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and begin again the work of remaking America.

Looking around, there is work to be done. The current state of the economy requires us to take bold and swift, and we will act, not only to create new jobs, but to lay a new foundation for growth. We will build the roads and bridges, the electric grids and digital network, they will be of service to our business activities, all of us together. We will restore science to its rightful place, and wield technology's wonders to raise health care's quality and lower its cost. We will make use of solar energy, wind energy, tidal energy to drive our car, run our factories. And we will transform our schools, colleges and University in order to meet the demands of a new age. All this we can do, we'll do it all.

Now, there are some who question the scale of our lofty ideals and high aspirations. They say, our system cannot tolerate too many big plans, their memories are short, for they have forgotten what this country has already done, forget what free men and women can achieve when imagination and the combination of common purpose, and necessity to courage in case of achievement.

Detest the world and its ways failed to understand is that the ground beneath their feet, has changed the past consumption, we too long time of stale political arguments will not reproduce. The question we ask today is not whether our government is too big or too small, but whether it works - whether it helps families find jobs at a decent wage payment, provide affordable medical services to them, providing a decent retirement. Where the answer is yes, we will promote this project. Where the answer is no, programs will end. Us who manage the public's dollars will work under this standard to spend wisely, reform bad habits, so that our activities in transparent, because only then can we restore the vital, between a people and their government's trust.

For us, the market is good or bad is not a problem, the ability of the market to generate wealth and expand freedom is unmatched. But this crisis has reminded us that, without effective supervision, the market can spin out of control. When a country only favors the rich, it cannot prosper long. The success of our economy depends not only on the total amount of our gross domestic product, but also depends on the reach of our prosperity, depend on our will opportunity to extend opportunity to every willing heart, not out of charity, but because it is the surest route to our common interests of the exact path.

As for our common defense, we reject false the choice between our safety and our ideals. Our founding fathers faced with perils we can scarcely imagine, drafted a charter to ensure the rule of law and human rights, generations of Americans a charter expanded by the blood of. Those ideals still light the world, and we will not give them up for a matter of expediency. And to all those watching the inauguration today in other parts of the world of people and the government, the village, from the grandest capitals to my father was born: please understand, America is all countries, seeks a future of peace and dignity of all men, women, children and friends, we are ready to lead once more preparation.

Recall that earlier generations of Americans, they were not just with missiles and tanks to defeat fascism, but with sturdy alliances and enduring convictions. They understand that, our power alone cannot protect us, nor will we do as one pleases. Instead, they knew that our strength, only use with caution in case increasing, our security emanates from the justness of our cause, the force of our example, the tempering qualities of humility and restraint.

We are the keepers of this legacy. Guided by these principles once more, we can meet those new threats that demand even greater effort, these new threats that demand even greater cooperation and understanding between nations. We will begin to responsibly leave Iraq to its people, we will promote negative in Afghanistan a hard-earned peace. We will with old friends and former foes together tirelessly to lessen the nuclear threat, cope with global warming. We will not apologize for our way of life, nor will we waver in its defense. To promote their own way of life of the people through the murder of innocents, we say to you now, our spirit is stronger, it cannot be defeated, you cannot outlast us, and we will defeat you.

As we all know, our patchwork heritage is a strength, not a weakness. American people by Christianity, Islam, Judaism and Hinduism and non believers. Countries on earth, from every corner of the language and culture here together. We have had the bitter swill of civil war and segregation, a dark page, we become more powerful, and more united, we believe that the old hatreds someday will dissolve, estrangement between tribes will soon eliminate. We firmly believe that, as the world grows smaller, our common humanity shall reveal itself, USA must do oneself position, and create a new era in a peaceful.

To the Muslim world, we seek a new way forward, based on mutual interest and mutual respect manner. In the world that have to sow conflict, or blame their society's ills on the West leader, you should understand a bit, your people will judge you by the construction and non damage to judge you. For those who, through corruption and deceit and the silencing of dissent to grab power leader, you should know that you are on the wrong side of history, but if you are willing to unclench your fist, we will help you to provide.

To the people of poor nations, we pledge to work alongside you to make your farms flourish,, let clean waters flow, to nourish starved bodies, feed hungry minds. For those nations like ours that enjoy relative plenty, we say, we cannot be indifferent to the suffering outside our borders, nor can we consume the world's resources without regard to the consequences. The world has changed, and we must change with it.

As we look to the future of the road, we remember with humble gratitude at this moment is guarding the brave Americans in the desert and mountains. They have something to tell us today, just as the lie in Arlington whisper those fallen heroes. We honor them, not only because they are guardians of our liberty, but because they embody the spirit of service, and a willingness to find meaning in something greater than themselves. However, at this time, this will affect a generation of person's time, it is this spirit we all need.

Because no matter what the government can do and must do what, the country must rely on faith and determination of the people of American. When the levees break it is the kindness to take in a stranger, it is those who would rather cut their hours than see a friend unemployment, us through our darkest hours of selfless worker, it is the firefighter's courage to storm a stairway filled, is also the child rearing and finally decides our fate parents wish.

We may be faced with new challenges, we face these challenges means may be new, but those values upon which our success depends is the oldest -- hard work and honesty, courage, justice, tolerance and curiosity, loyalty and patriotism. These things are true, they are in the USA history has been the quiet force of progress. Now it is a return to these truths, we now need to enter a new era of responsibility -- to every American knows, we, in this country, are all responsible for the whole world, and not just accept the responsibility, but certainly, should be thoroughly understand a bit, that unless we all for an arduous task, our spirit can not be met, we are also unable to obtain the shape of personality.

This is as a civic values and commitments.

This is the source of our confidence is, God calls on us to shape an uncertain destiny.

This is our freedom and belief significance -- why different beliefs, different races of people of all ages and both sexes can have a joyous gathering in this magnificent mall, and why not sixty years ago a man's father is not at a local restaurant, now he is able to stand before you to take a most sacred oath.

Let us mark this day with it, of who we are and the journey of memories. In the year of American birth, in the coldest season, a small band of patriots huddled by dying campfires, at an icy river. The capital was abandoned. The enemy was advancing. The snow be besmeared with blood. In the revolution at unknown instants, the father of our nation to let people hear these words:

"Let it be told to the future...... In a world of ice and snow of winter, but hope and virtue could survive...... That the city and the country, alarmed at one common danger, came forth to."

USA. In the face of our common dangers, in this winter of extremely hard and bitter, let us remember these timeless words. With hope and virtue, let us brave once more the icy currents, and endure what storms may come. Let's tell our grandchildren so: when we were tested, we refused to let this journey end, that we did not turn back, nor the swaying, but eyes firmly looked ahead, with the grace of God, we carried forth that great gift of freedom, and delivered it safely to our offspring.

 

 

 

George Bush 2001 inaugural speech

　　

   Thank you!

Justice Rui Enquist, President Carter, President Bush, President Clinton, distinguished guests, my fellow citizens,

The peaceful transfer of authority is rare in history, but in the America is normal. With a simple oath we affirn old traditions, and started a new course.

First of all, I want to thank President Clinton for his service to our nation, also thanks to the enthusiasm and demeanor during the campaign of vice president Gore.

Standing here, I was honored to be overwhelmed by an unexpected favour, also a little. Before me, many America leaders start from here; after me, there are many leaders to move on from here.

In USA long history, we each have our own position; a story we continue, but whose end we will not see. This is the history of the development of a new world, is a part of each wave pushing at the one ahead of history. This is a American from slave society that became a servant of freedom of history. This is a powerful protection instead of possession, the history of the world, to defend but not to conquer. This is USA history. It is not a perfect national history, but it is a great and eternal ideal under the guidance of several generations of people struggle in unity of history.

The grandest of these ideals is slowly realizing the America commitment, that is: everyone has their own value, everyone has a chance to succeed, each person was ever born DOSOMETHINPREVIOUSLYUNRELEASED. American people's shoulders a mission, which is to enact this promise in our lives and in our laws. Although our country in the past on the way to pursue the commitment to remain stagnant or even go backwards, but we will not to move or retreat to complete this mission.

In much of the last century, America's faith in freedom and democracy was a rock in a raging sea. Now it is a seed upon the wind, taking root in each nation. In our country, democracy is not only a kind of belief, but the hope of all mankind. Democracy, we are not exclusive, and will try to let everybody share. Democracy, we will remember and spread. 225 years later, we still have a long way to go.

While many of our citizens has been successful, but there are also people began to doubt our own country, doubt the promise, even the justice doubt it. Failure of the education, the potential for bias and the circumstances of their birth limits the ambitions of some americans. Sometimes, our differences is so deep, it seems we share a continent, but not a country. We do not accept this, and we will not allow it to exist. Our solidarity and unity, is each generation of leaders and citizens of every serious mission. Here, I solemnly swear: unified country I will work to build a fair, opportunity. I know this is our goal, because God creates us in his image, God above all we are guided by a power.

The unite and lead us forward principle, we are full of confidence. Blood, origin or geographical will never America together. Only the ideal, can make our mind a place, beyond their own, to give up personal interests, and gradually understand what it means to be citizens. Every child must be taught these principles. Every citizen must uphold these principles. And every immigrant, by embracing these principles, to make our country more not less USA feature today, we affirm a new faith here, through civility, courage, compassion and personality spirit to achieve the ideals of our country. USA at its best, also did not forget to follow the courteous principle. A civil society demands from each of us good, respect for others, be kind and generous to people fair and.

Some people think that our political system is so not worth mentioning, because in the era of peace, we debate is be of no great importance. However, to our America, we have discussed is never what things. If we do not lead the cause of freedom, it will not be led; if we do not turn the hearts of children toward knowledge and character, we will lose not play, it will be difficult to achieve the ideal. If we do not take appropriate measures, despite the recession, the biggest victims are civilians.

We should always listen to the call of the times. Civility is not a tactic also not give oneself over to blind emotions. It is the determined choice of trust over cynicism; to seek unity in confusion. If you follow this commitment, we will share a common achievement.

USA has powerful strength backing, will march forward courageously.

In times of depression and war, our people's courage has been clear, to overcome the common dangers defined our common good. Now, we are faced with the choice, if we make the right choice, our fathers and mothers will inspire us; if we choose the wrong, they will condemn us. God is looking after the country, we must show courage, the courage to face the problems, instead of passing them on to future generations.

We should make joint efforts to improve the school education, USA, ignorance and apathy claim more young lives. We will reform social security and Medicare, save our children to do everything in one's power range. And we will reduce taxes, economic recovery, rewards hard work America people. We want to nip in the bud, slack will bring trouble. We have to prevent the spread of weapons, so that a new century is to get rid of the threat of terror.

Against liberty and our country should make no mistake: American will continue to actively participate in international affairs, to the global balance of power, let the power of freedom throughout the world. This is the choice of history. We will defend our allies, to defend our interests. We will humbly to the people of the world that our goal. We will meet aggression and faithless behavior. We will show the world the propaganda of our great nation values of inoculation.

In the heyday of the USA or lack of sympathy.

When we think, we will understand the ingrained poverty is unworthy of our nation's promise. No matter how we look at the causes of poverty, we must admit, children at risk are not at fault. Abandonment and abuse are not acts of god. These are the result of the lack of love. Citizens seem to be necessary, but can not substitute for hope - all law-abiding.

Where there is suffering, there is duty where. For us, Americans in need are not strangers, they are citizens; not a burden, but priorities. When people fall into despair, all of us are diminished.

For public safety and public health, for civil rights and school education, the government has great responsibilities. However, compassion is not just the responsibility of the government, it is the obligation of the state. Some need is so urgent, some wounds are so deep, only teacher caress, the preacher can feel something. Church and charity, synagogue or mosque, lend our communities their humanity, and they should be respected in the construction and the law of our.

Many in our country do not know the pain of poverty. But we could hear the people that deep talk. I swear our nation to a goal: when we see that wounded traveler on the road to Jericho, we will not stand by.

In the heyday of the America attention and look forward to personal responsibility.

Encouraging responsibility is not to let people serve as the scapegoat, but a call to conscience. Although the responsibility means sacrifice personal interests, but you can understand in a more profound sense of achievement.

We achieve the fullness of life not only by the choice, and is realized through our practice. We know, as far as our duty to the society and our children, we will be free at last.

Our public interest depends on independent personality; depend on our civic duty, family bonds and basic fairness; depend on us countless, decent action is unknown to the public, which give direction to our freedom.

In life, sometimes we are called to do some shaking heaven and earth. But, as a saint of our times has said, every day we are called to do small things with great love. The most important tasks of a democracy are done by everyone.

I include the principle of people doing things: believe in yourself and don't foist one's opinions upon others, for the benefit of the public march forward courageously, pursue justice and compassion, to call for responsibility and not shirk. I'm going through all of this, the values of our history to the care of our times.

(Fellow), everything that you've done and all the work of the government is also important. I hope you don't just pursue personal enjoyment while ignoring the interests of the public; to defend needed reform measures, which is not easily attack; from the little things around, for the effectiveness of our country. I want you to become citizens, not spectators, not subjects. You should become responsible citizens, building together a mutual aid society and nation of character.

American people are generous and strong and decent, not because we believe in ourselves, but because we hold beliefs beyond ourselves. When this spirit of citizenship is missing, no government program can make up for it. When this spirit is present, no wrong can stand against it.

In the "Declaration of independence" after the signing, Virginia statesman John page? Who gave Thomas? Jefferson wrote: "we know, agile does not necessarily win, strength does not necessarily win the war. Was it not all is the God arrangement? "

The Jefferson presidency has been away from us very far. Time flies, the change American turn the world upside down. But he would know, that is the theme of our era is still: our nation's grand story of courage and its dream of dignity.

We are not this story's author, Jefferson is the great ideal of the author's through time and space, and through our daily efforts in reality. We are through the efforts of everyone in the performance of their duties.

Never tiring, never yielding, does not believe, we renew that purpose today: to make our country more just and generous, to verify each of us and all the dignity of life.

This work must go on. The story goes on. God will control us.

May God bless you! May God bless USA!

 

 

Bill Clinton's first inaugural address

　　Wednesday January 20, 1993

My fellow citizens:

Today, we celebrate American revival of the miracle. This ceremony is held in the depth of winter, however, through our own words and to show the world the face, but the Spring returns to the good earth. - back in the world's oldest democracy, and bring the vision and courage to reinvent USA.

When our founders boldly announced to the world USA independence, and our purposes to the Almighty, they know, America to endure, would have to change. Not change for change, but in order to maintain the ideal -- American to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness and change. Though we march to the music of our time, our mission is timeless. Each generation of Americans must, for what it means to be an American definition. Today, a generation raised in the shadows of the cold war in the world, new responsibilities. The world warmed by the sunshine of freedom, but still received the old grudge and new plagues threat.

We grew up in the incomparable prosperity, inherited is still the most powerful in the world economy. But because of business failures, stagnant wages, increasing inequality, deep divisions among our people, our economy has weakened.

When George Washington first took the oath I just to read, people riding the news travelled slowly across the land by boat, and then pass it across the ocean. Now, the sights and sounds of this ceremony to billions around the world who play immediately. Communications and commerce are global, investment is mobile; technology is almost magical; and ambition for a better life is now universal. Today, we Americans in peaceful competition with people around the world to seek survival. Profound and powerful forces are shaking and remaking our world today, a pressing matter of the moment is whether we can make change become our friends, but not as our enemies.

This new world has already made millions of Americans to compete and win in a well-off life. However, when the majority of people work more time but earn less, when some people simply can not work, when the cost of health care burden for many families cannot afford the time, greatly small company on the brink of bankruptcy, when the fear of crime when the law-abiding citizens cannot move freely, when millions of poor children can't even imagine the lives we are calling them to lead, we have not made change our friend. We know, we have to face the harsh reality, and take strong steps. But we do not, but allow someone to continue, so that the loss of our resources, destroy our economy, and shaken our confidence.

We are facing tremendous challenges, but we also have amazing strength, Americans have ever been a restless, constant pursuit and hopeful people, today, we have the predecessors have farsightedness and strong will to our task. From our revolution, the civil war, the great depression, to the civil rights movement, our people have always determined, build the pillars of our history from the previous crisis.

Thomas Jefferson believes that, in order to maintain the foundations of our nation, we need dramatic change from time to time. USA compatriots, our era is the era of change, let us embrace this time!

Our democracy must be not only the envy of the world, and to become the driving force of national rejuvenation. America no wrong things cannot be cured by what is right. Therefore, today we pledge, to end the deadlock, follow one's own inclination of the era, a new era of Renaissance USA has begun.

We will restore USA, you must have the courage. We must do what no generation has had to do before. We must invest more in people, investing in their work and the future, at the same time, we must reduce the huge debt. Moreover, we must compete for every opportunity in a need for the world to do all this. It was not easy to do so: it will require sacrifice. However, this can be done, and done fair and reasonable. We are not choosing sacrifice for its own sake, we must provide for our country like families with dependent children.

Our founders in the light of posterity to look at their own. We must also do so. Anyone who has ever watched a child be? O people sleep, know what it means to have offspring, offspring is the world to come, we stick to our ideals, we borrowed our planet, and to whom we bear sacred responsibility. We must do USA favorite things: to provide more opportunities for all people, to all who take on more responsibility.

Now is the time to break free from the government and people for the bad habit of. Let us not only for themselves and their families, but also for the community and the state of more responsibilities.

We will restore America, we must revitalize our democracy. This beautiful capital, every capital since the dawn of civilization as well as, is often a place, fight both with open and secret means. Powerful people maneuver potential, endless for replacement lifting officials and bother, but forget those who toil and sweat sends us here, and support our people.

Americans deserve better. In this city, there are people who want to do better today. Therefore, I say to all of us here: let us resolve to reform our politics, so that power and privilege of the noisy voice overwhelm people no longer. Let us put aside personal interests. So that we can feel the pain and see the American, promise. Lets make up our minds, make the government become a Franklin Roosevelt called "bold, persistent test", become a future oriented and not the past of the government. Let us give this capital back to the people to whom it belongs.

We will restore American, we must meet challenges at home and abroad. Clearly the world economy, is no longer between foreign and domestic affairs, the world environment, the World AIDS crisis, the world arms race, which affect us all.

While America rebuilds at home, in the face of this new world will not shrink from the challenges, but also will let slip the opportunity of. We will work together to change the allies, lest it engulf. When our vital interests are challenged, or, if the will and conscience of the international community in contempt, we will act with peaceful diplomacy whenever possible, with force when necessary.

Today, in the Persian Gulf, Somalia and any other place brave Americans serving our nation, have proved our determination.

However, our greatest strength is the power of our ideas. These thoughts are still at the embryonic stage in many countries. See these ideas were accepted in the world, we feel the dance for joy. Our hopes, our hearts, people and every continent are building democracy and freedom are linked together. Their cause is American career.

America people have summoned the change we celebrate today. You clearly we make a sound. You have cast your votes in hitherto unknown number. You make the Congress, the presidency and the political process itself all take on an entirely new. Yes, you, my fellow American, prompting Spring returns to the good earth.

Now, we must do the work the season demands. Now, I will use all my power to this work. I ask Congress to join me in doing the work. Any president, any Congress, no government can undertake this mission alone. My fellow citizens, in the process of China's rejuvenation, you must also play a role in.

I challenge a new generation of young people American, season -- ask you into this dedication to act on your idealism, by helping troubled children, making poor people to get the care, to be split communities. Want to do a lot of things -- enough indeed, even millions still young in spirit, people can also contribute to.

In serving, we recognize a simple but powerful truth. We must care for one another. Today, we not only in praise America, we rededicate ourselves to the USA ideal: an idea born in revolution, updated in two centuries of challenge; this ideal has withstood the test of understanding, we realize that, but for fate, the fortunate or unfortunate may swap position; this ideal as a belief and sublime, namely our country can realize the unity of the most profound paradox of the complex, the ideal is permeated with a kind of faith: America long heroic journey will continue forever. My fellow citizens, in my sad when entering twenty-first Century, let us with energy and hope, began working with faith and discipline, until the work is done. "The Bible" says: "we do good deeds, be not weary in well doing, if not discouraged, to the time, will harvest. "

The American, we heard from the valley came to power of our ideas. We heard the sound of a trumpet. We have changed the guard. Now, we must be in its own way, to answer this call on God's help.

Thank you. God bless you.

 

 

The first president Reagan's inaugural address

Senator Hatfield, Mr. judge, Mr. President, vice president Bush, Mr. Mundell, Mr. Beck, members of the spokesman for Mr. O'neal, dear Mr. Momai, and America compatriots broad support me: today for some of us, is a very solemn moment. Of course, in the history of our nation, it is a matter of common things. According to the constitution, the government is the orderly transfer of rights, we have such a "regular course of official duties" in the two century, few people think that what is special. But the eyes of many in the world, which we already be accustomed to a four year ceremony, but it is a miracle.

Mr. President, I want our fellow citizens to know you to carry on this tradition. The act with united strength in the transition process, the fact that you have shown the observer: we vowed to unite maintaining such a political groups, such a system to ensure that we can get to a greater degree than any other individual freedom. I would also like to thank you and your partners to help, because you insist that inheritance, which is the bulwark of our republic.

The business of our nation to move on. The United States is facing great economic difficulties. We have to our country the longest in history, one of the most serious inflation, it disturbs our economic decisions, penalizes thrift, and crushes the struggling young and middle-aged people on fixed incomes, threatening to destroy millions of people in China living.

Idle industries make workers unemployed, suffer and lose the dignity of the individual. Even those who have jobs, but also because of the tax system's sake but not the remuneration fair, because the tax system so that we can not achieve success in career, make it impossible for us to keep the full productivity.

Although our tax burden is quite heavy, but still can not keep up the growth of public spending. For decades, we have increased our deficit, for the temporary convenience of the present, to our future and our children's future mortgaged. If this tendency if things go on like this, will cause social turbulence, cultural, political and economic aspects.

As an individual, you and I can borrow a person does not make life, but for only a limited period of time, how can we believe that, as a country, we should not be subject to the same constraints? In order to preserve tomorrow, we must act today. Everyone should know -- unmistakably we'll take action from today.

The economic ills we suffer, has for decades been attacked us. They will not go away in a few days, weeks or months, but they will go away. They will go away, because we as Americans now as in the past, to have the ability to do whatever needs to be done, in order to preserve this last and greatest bastion of freedom.

In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem. Government is the problem.

We often mistake, society has become more complex, is unlikely to be managed by self rule, and by an elite group is superior to government the people, by the people, government of the people. But, if we who also can manage their own, then, who among us has the capacity to manage others.

All of us -- whether government officials or civilians -- must bear the responsibility, the solutions we seek must be fair, with no one group to pay a higher price.

We hear a lot of talk about the special interest groups, however. Our concern must be for a special interest group has been ignored for a long time. The group has no area, no race, no race, no party branch, this group is made up of many men and women, they produce food, patrol the streets of factories and mines, management, education of children, taking care of the household and the treatment of disease. They are professionals, industrialists, shopkeepers, clerks, taxi drivers and truck drivers, to make a long story short, they are the "we the people" -- this is called americans.

This administration's objective will be to establish a sound, be full of vitality and continuous development of the economy, providing a non discrimination and bigotry or obstacle to the equal opportunity for all USA people, let American working again, means that all Americans back to work. To curb inflation, means freedom for all Americans from runaway living costs caused by the fear of. All must share in the "new beginning" fruitful work, everyone should share the fruits of economic recovery. The core of our system and our strength is the idealism and impartial attitude, with these, we can have a strong, prosperous, stable domestic peace with itself and the world America.

So, as we begin, let us have a look the actual situation. We are a nation of a government - not a government. And this makes us the nations of the earth become an independent school, our government except the people's authority, and no other power. At present, the expansion of government power has shown more than sign the consent of the governed, time to stop and reverse the situation to.

I'm going to compress the size and influence of the federal agencies, and asked everyone to recognize the federal government was granted the power between the states or to the people to retain the right of both. All of us need to be reminded: the federal government did not create the States, the states created the federal government. Therefore, please don't get me wrong, I mean not to cancel the government, but to work with us, not over us; to stand by our side, not ride on our backs. Government can and must provide the opportunity, not to kill the opportunity, it can and must promote productivity, rather than inhibiting productivity.

If we are going to explore why for so many years we can gain so great success, and won the world any nation has not been obtained thriving and prosperous, its reason is in this land, we make the ability and individual human intelligence has been hitherto unknown play. Here, individuals are entitled to freedom and dignity and to ensure that more than any other place in the world. The price for this freedom may be quite high, but we have never been unwilling to pay that price.

Our present difficulties, and government agencies as unnecessary and excessive growth of intervention, intrusion into our life increased, this is no coincidence. We are a nation, not ourselves to small dreams, now is realized this point. We are not doomed to decline, as some would have us believe this point. I don't believe that, no matter what we do, we will be the fate of the case, but I believe, if we don't do what, we will do it.

Therefore, let us to master all the creativity to create a National Renaissance era. Let us re determination, courage and strength, let us renew our faith and hope. We have the right to dream heroic dreams.

We are told that on his body was found a diary. On the flyleaf under the heading: "my oath". He wrote these words: "America must win this war. Therefore, I will work, I will save, I will sacrifice, I will endure, I will try my best to fight bravely, like war all by my a person to bear."

 

 

We are all the passengers

　　Richard Nixon's first inaugural address

Monday January 20, 1969

Each moment in history is fleeting, it is precious and unique. However, some of which is a prelude to the moment, at this time, to create a precedent for a generation, which determines the future of decades or centuries of course.

This can be such a moment.

Now, all forces are converging, so that we can expect many long cherished wish of human will eventually be able to achieve the first time.

Accelerating the speed of change, the progress that we can only appear in our generation would have spent hundreds of years.

Due to open wide the horizons of space, we have discovered new horizons on earth.

Because the people of the world want peace, and the leaders of the world the fear of war, therefore, the current situation first became conducive to peace.

From now on, 8 years later, to celebrate the 200 anniversary of the founding of the people's Republic America will. Now most people in the rest of one's life, mankind will celebrate the start, a great new year -- third hundred years.

Our country will become how countries, we will live in what kind of world we want our hope, according to casting the future, all of these will be by our actions and choices.

The greatest honor history can bestow, than the peacemaker the title. This honor now beckons USA -- this is leading the world in the final out of the valley of turmoil, a chance to move to the high altar of peace always dream of humanity since the dawn of civilization.

If we succeed, generations to come will say of us now living, it is we grasp opportunity, that we helped the people all over the world.

This is to be caught up with our conscience.

I believe, American people are ready to answer this call.

After a period of confrontation, we are entering an era of negotiation.

Let all nations know, within the term of the current government, communication channel is open.

We seek an open world -- open to ideas, open exchange of goods and people, in this world, any nation, regardless of size, will not be discontented and unhappy life in isolation.

We cannot expect everyone to become our friend, but we can try to make no one our enemy.

We invite those who would be our adversaries to a peaceful competition -- not in conquering territory or extending dominion, but to enrich human life.

In the exploration of space, let us go to the new world -- not as new worlds to be conquered, but as a new adventure to be shared.

Let us with those who are willing to join the ranks of the people together, reduce the burden of arms, to strengthen the structure of peace, to improve the poor and the hungry.

But, for all those who see a soft answer, let us allow all doubt that, we need more powerful: how strong will need strong long, how long will be strong.

Since I first came to the Houses of Parliament after 20 years as a newly elected congressman, I have visited most of the nations of the world.

I made the acquaintance of world leaders, to make the world a variety of powerful forces, to be split all bear a deep grudge against sb., psychological fear.

I know, and does not come through wishing for it -- even to day in and day out, year after year of patient and persistent diplomatic efforts, and in no other way.

I also know the people of the world.

I saw the homeless children are starving in the war, the pain of a man wounded, losing a child's mother in the infinite sadness. I know, these are not ideology and race.

I know American. I know America heart is good.

I from the bottom of my heart, and the heart of my country, to express deep concern our to those who suffer and pain of the people.

Today, I swear in front of God and my countrymen, support and defend the constitution of the United states. In addition to this oath, I now add a sacred obligation: I will put my duty, energy and all the wisdom I can summon, together with dedication to the cause of peace among nations.

Let the strong and the weak can hear this information:

The peace we seek to win is not to defeat any one nation, but the "angel of peace" brought to heal the wounds of the peace: peace is compassion for the suffering; for those who have opposed us understand peace; is the people of all ethnic groups have to choose my own destiny chance for peace.

In just a few weeks ago, the human world as God sees it, the first sight of the world, a unique planet reflecting light in the darkness. We shared the glory of.

Appollo, astronauts flew over the moon's gray surface on Christmas Eve, spoke to us of the beauty of the earth -- across the lunar distance and voice so clear, we hear them in prayer God bless the world.

At that time, they issued from the moon will, inspired poet Archibald MacLeish wrote the text:

"The eternal tranquility, the small, beautiful, beautiful earth floating. See the earth as it really, is to see ourselves as the earth's passengers, as a group of brothers, they were in the long, cold words in the universe. Relying on the bright love -- this group of brothers who know now they are truly brothers."

In that moment of surpassing technological triumph, people put thoughts toward home and Humanity -- from the distant perspective that, man's destiny on earth is not separated; they tell us, no matter how far we go in the universe, our destiny lies not in the stars, but in the Earth last, in our own hands, in our own hearts.

We have spent a American spirit reflects the long night. However, when the first ray of dawn we saw the dawn, let us not curse the remaining dark. Let us welcome the light.

Our destiny offers not the cup of despair, but the chalice of opportunity. Therefore, let us not in fear, but in gladness to seize this chance -- "riders on the earth together," let us take a firm belief, towards a stable target, on the lookout for danger in advance! We to the will of God and the hope of humanity is full of confidence, this will enable us to persevere.

 

 

 

The torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans

　　John Kennedy's inaugural speech

Friday January 20, 1961

Mr. chief justice, President Eisenhower, vice president Nixon, President Truman, reverend clergy, fellow citizens:

We observe today not a victory of party, but a celebration of freedom. Symbolizing an end, but also a symbol of a beginning, said an update, also said a change. For I have sworn before you and Almighty God, the same solemn oath our forebears in 170 years ago. Now the world is very different now, human giant hand hold various poverty can destroy the earth, and all forms of human life force. But our ancestors revolutionary beliefs for which strive for, there is still controversy in the world. This belief is: human rights is not from the generosity of the state, but from the hand of god.

Today, we can't forget that we are the heirs of that first. Let our friend and foe alike gofrom this time and place: the torch has been passed to a new generation of americans. This generation of people born in this century, tempered by war, in peace period of difficulties and hardships they disciplined, for China's long tradition of pride -- and unwilling to witness or permit me always, still at home and abroad to make a guarantee of human rights is gradually destroyed.

Let every nation know -- whether it wishes us well or ill -- to ensure the survival and the success of liberty, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe.

These are our promise -- and there is more to ensure.

To those old allies, and we have a common cultural and spiritual origins, we pledge the loyalty of faithful friends. If we unite, can in many cooperative ventures in which no win; if we fight, will be without a single success -- because we do not dare at oddsand be split, meet a powerful challenge.

To those new states whom we welcome to the ranks of the free, we pledge our word: never let a more brutal tyranny to replace a lost colony. We shall not always expect to find them supporting our view. But we shall always hope to find them strongly supporting their own freedom -- and to remember that, in the history, those who foolishly sought power riding on the back of the people, all ended up inside.

To the world at the cottage and country, in order to get rid of widespread corruption and the struggle of the people trapped, we guarantee the best efforts to help them help themselves, for whatever period is required -- the reason to do so, not because the Communists may be doing it, not because we seek their votes, but because it is right, freedom if society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich.

To our sister republics south of our border, we offer a special pledge -- in a new alliance for progress, to our good words into good deeds, to assist free men and free governments in casting off the chains of poverty. However, this peaceful revolution of hope cannot become the prey of hostile countries. Let all our neighbors know that, we will be together with them, to oppose aggression or subversion anywhere in the americas. And let every other power know, this hemisphere intends to remain the master of its own house.

The United Nations is the world assembly of sovereign states, we greatly exceed the peaceful means in an age where the instruments of war, the last best hope. Therefore, we renew our pledge of support; to prevent it from becoming merely a diatribe places; to strengthen its shield of the new and the weak; to expand it's written and run range.

Finally, for those who want to work with our country, we put forward a requirement rather than a guarantee: powersof destruction unleashed by science, engulf all humanity in planned or accidental self destruction of the abyss before, that both sides begin anew the quest for peace.

We dare not tempt them. For only when our arms are sufficient beyond doubt, we can no doubt that they will be using these arms.

However, for comfort -- by the cost of modern weapons both sides overburdened the two strong group of countries can't from our present course, the steady spread of the deadly atom behoove makes both care-laden, however, both sides are to change the stop not shift the balance of terror the human's final the war. Therefore, that both sides begin anew -- remembering on both sides. Civility is not a sign of weakness, and sincerity is always subject to proof. But let us never fear to negotiate. But let us never fear to negotiate.

Let both sides explore what problems unite us, instead of belaboring those problems which divide us.

Let both sides, for the first time for the inspection and control of arms making serious and precise proposals, the destruction of absolute control of his country's absolute power in all the countries.

Let both sides seek to invoke the wonders of science, rather than resort to science caused by terrorist. Together let us explore the stars, conquer the deserts, eradicate disease, the development of deep plum, and encourage the arts and commerce.

Let both sides unite in every corner of the world, to listen to Isaiah -- "undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free."

If a beachhead of cooperation may push back the jungle, let both sides join in creating a new endeavor: not to establish a new balance of power, but a new world of law, in this world, the strong are just, and the weak secure, peace will be maintained.

Will it be finished in the first one hundred days, nor in the first one thousand days or completed in this administration, nor even perhaps in our living on this planet in the rest of one's life. But, let's get started.

Citizens, final success or failure of our course in my hands, not in your hands. Since this country was founded, each generation of Americans has been summoned to give testimony to its national loyalty. Answered the call to service America youth graves throughout the world.

Now, the trumpets sounded again -- not as a call to bear arms, though arms we need, not as a call to battle, though we be prepared to meet the challenge. It's a call to bear the burden of a long twilight struggle, year after year, "rejoicing in hope, patient in Tribulation", go against a common enemy of mankind -- tyranny, poverty, disease and war itself.

Against these enemies, a more fruitful life for all mankind, we are able to form a global alliance of parties including the four corners of the world? Will you join in that historic effort?

In the long history of the world, only a few generations have freedom in the most critical moment was given the responsibility to defend freedom. I do not shrink from this responsibility, I welcome it. I do not believe that any of us would with any other people or any other generation exchange position. The energy, the faith which we bring to this endeavor, will light our country and all who serve the force of China, and the glow from that fire can truly light the world.

Therefore, USA compatriots, don't ask what country your ability to do, ask what you can do for your country.

My fellow citizens of the world, don't America what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man. What.

Finally, whether you are citizens of American or citizens of the world, ask of us which we ask of you the same high standards of strength and sacrifice. Examine oneself, feeling no shame of our only sure reward, with history the final judge of our deeds, let us go forth to lead our beloved country. Asking his blessing and his help, but we know, specifically, here on earth God's work must truly be our own.

 

 

Four major courses of action

　　Harry Truman's inaugural speech

Thursday January 20, 1949

　　Each period of our national history has had its special challenges. The challenge facing us now and the past any challenges facing today as serious, not only marks the beginning of a new government, and marks the beginning of a new era. For us, the entire world, this period special is an eventful year, perhaps will be decisive years. It may be our lot to experience, and in large measure to bring about, a major turning point in the long history of mankind. The characteristics of half is, human rights were trampled There was no parallel in history., and experienced the two most frightful wars in history. The supreme need of our time is to learn to live together in peace together.

People all over the world have be very upset mood to face the future, they are full of hope and full of worries. In these moments of doubt than at any time in the past, they look to the United States in good faith, strength and wise leadership.

Therefore, we consider the situation, seize this opportunity to proclaim to the world the basic principles of the faith by which we live, to all peoples declare our aims.

In the coming years, our program for peace and freedom will focus on four major courses of action.

First, we will continue not to move or retreat to support the UN and its relevant agencies, to continue to search for ways to strengthen their authority and increase the efficiency of these institutions. Today, many new countries are established, are under democratic principles to autonomous direction, we believe, the United Nations will be strengthened by the new nations which.

Second, we will continue our programs for world economic recovery.

This means that we must first fully support the European recovery program. The peoples of the earth a great success, we are full of confidence. We believe that, through this work, our partners will once again achieve the status of self-supporting nations. In addition, we must carry out to reduce world trade barriers, increase the volume of World Trade and plan. Increase the economic recovery and peace itself depends on the world trade.

Third, we must strengthen the freedom loving nations forces, to resist the threat of aggression.

We and many nations together, is to increase the security of the North Atlantic area to draft a joint agreement. This Agreement shall be in accordance with the provisions of the Charter of the United Nations, taking collective defense agreement form.

We establish such a defensive alliance has according to the Rio de Janeiro Convention for the western hemisphere.

The main purpose of these agreements is made clear that the joint determination of the free countries against armed attack from any quarter. Each country participating in the agreement must be a full strength for the common defense contribution.

If we can make it sufficiently clear, any impact on our national security attack would be met with overwhelming force, the armed attack might never occur.

I hope that the treaty respecting the North Atlantic security plan soon to send to the senate.

In addition, we will also provide free nations to cooperate with us in the maintenance of peace and security, military advisers and military equipment.

Fourth, we must embark on a bold new program, the progress and development of underdeveloped regions can benefit from our scientific advances and industrial.

More than half the world's population is on the verge of misery, they have little food to eat, the body disease. Their economic life is primitive, stagnant. Both to them and to more prosperous areas, their poverty is a handicap and a threat.

The first time ever mastered to relieve the suffering of these people knowledge and technology.

The United States in the industrial and scientific and Technological Development ranking first in all countries. Although we used to aid the people of other countries in their material resources are limited, but our resources in technical knowledge is immeasurable, is constantly growing and be inexhaustible.

I think, in order to help the peace loving peoples realize their aspirations for a better life, we should make them benefit from the knowledge of our rich. At the same time, we should also cooperate with other countries, support for the areas needing development investment.

Our goal should be to help the free peoples of the world, through their own efforts, to produce more food, more clothes, more building materials, machines and more to alleviate their burden.

We invite other countries to pool their technological resources in this work. We warmly welcome them to contribute. This should be a cooperative enterprise, all countries by the United Nations and its specialized agencies work together. This must be made to achieve peace, prosperity and freedom in the world within the scope of work.

Cooperation in China's enterprises, private capital, agriculture and labor aspects, this program can greatly promote the other countries of the industrial activity, substantially improve their standard of living.

This kind of new economic development must be planning and control, so that the area was developed to benefit the people. To ensure the interests of investors at the same time, must take account of the interests of the people, because in these economic development into people's wisdom and labor.

In our scheme, the exploitation of his country's profits without a place to live in the old imperialism. We envisage is a planning and development to concept of democracy even bargain based.

All countries, including our own, will greatly benefit from making better use of the world's human and natural resources of a construction project. Experience has shown, our commerce with other countries will expand as these countries in the industrial and economic development.

Greater production is the key to prosperity and peace, and improve the production is the key to the broader, more vigorous application of modern scientific and technological knowledge.

The human family members only by helping the most unfortunate of self-help, to enjoy a decent, satisfying life, and all the people shall have the right to live this life depression.

Democracy alone can produce full of vigour power, to encourage the people of the world not only against human oppressors, and pressure against their ancient enemies -- hunger, poverty, disappointment and struggle --.

According to the four major courses of action, we hope to help create the conditions, the final realization of personal freedom and happiness for all mankind.

 

 

The only thing we have to fear is fear itself

　　Franklin Roosevelt first inaugural address

Saturday March 4, 1933

　　

I'm sure, my fellow Americans expect that on my induction into the presidency, will be like the current situation of our country as required, frank and decisively to address them. It is white, but courage to speak the truth, the whole truth, the best time to speak, we don't need not be overcautious, honestly facing the conditions in our country today, this great nation will as both the residence to persist, it will revive and prosper. So, let me express my firm belief: the only thing we have to fear is fear itself losing -- nameless, sensible, unfounded fears, it will turn back efforts to vanish like soap bubbles into the required. In every dark hour of our national life, open and dynamic leadership had the understanding and support of the people themselves, which is essential to victory. I believe that, in the current critical moment, you will again give the same support. You and I are in such a spirit, we face our common difficulties. Thank God, only material things. These difficulties. Values have shrunken to fantastic; taxes have risen, our ability to pay has fallen; all levels of the government faced a serious shortage of income; the means of exchange in the course of trade are frozen; the withered leaves of industrial enterprise; farmers find no markets for the products; the savings of many years and all one's efforts wasted thousands of households.

More importantly, a large number of unemployed citizens face the grim problem of citizens, there are a large number of toil with little return. Only a foolish optimist can deny the dark realities of the moment. However, our distress is not because of the lack of material. We haven't suffered what locust disaster. Our ancestors had the faith and fearless and turned the corner, they experienced than afraid, we have still much to be thankful for. Nature surrounds us with her bounty, human efforts have multiplied. The rich love scene be close by., but when we saw this scene, rich life is slipping away. This is mainly because the rulers of the exchange of mankinds goods have failed, they are stubborn and incapable of action, so it has identified failure, and have abdicated, the various acts be insatiably avaricious money changers, will be indicted in the court of public opinion, will be human hearts and minds of spit.

Happiness lies not in the mere possession of money; it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative effort. To forget the joy and moral stimulation of work no sure, in the mad chase of evanescent profits. If these dark days will enable us to realize, our true destiny is not to be ministered to the young people, but to ourselves and to our fellow men, then, we will be worth all they cost. Recognition of the falsity of material wealth as the standard of success, we will abandon the pride of place and personal income as the only standard. False belief to measure public and high political position, there must be an end to our conduct in banking and in business, it often has given to a sacred trust with improper conduct and selfish, it is no wonder that confidence languishes, because confidence only on honesty, sense of honor, a sacred responsibility, faithfully maintained and selfless in performing their duties, without these, there can be no confidence.

However, not for changes in ethics revival. This nation is asking for action, and action now.

Under my constitutional duty to, I am prepared to put forward some measures, while a stricken world affected countries may need these measures. These measures, or such other measures as the Congress may formulate its experience and wisdom, I shall be within my constitutional authority, to bring to speedy adoption.

However, if Congress refuses to accept these two lines of a national emergency, if remain unchanged, we face the clear course of duty. I shall ask the Congress for the one remaining instrument to meet the crisis -- a war against the very broad executive power, as if we were invaded by a foreign foe granted wide powers that when I.

For the trust reposed in me, I must with the courage and dedication, I will strain every nerve.

We face the arduous days, with nationally brings us passion and courage, in the clearest consciousness for tradition and precious moral values, with the old and the young can get satisfaction through dedication to examine oneself, feeling no shame. We aim at the assurance of national life and long period of stability.

We don't doubt that basic democratic system in the future. The people of the United States have not failed. They expressed their trust in difficulties, which requires the direct vigorous action. They have asked for Discipline and direction of leadership. They have made me as the instrument of their wishes. I accept this gift.

In this dedication of a nation, we humbly ask the blessing of god. May God bless each and every one of us, may God guide me in the days to come.

 

 

Permanent federal and presidential power

　　Abraham LincolnIn his first inaugural address

　　Monday March 4, 1861

I take the official oath today, and no reservations, nor in any rigorous standard to interpret the Constitution and the law, despite what I do not want to specify the bill through Congress is suitable for implementation, but I do suggest, all the people, both in official and personal status, must abide by those who did not the act abolished, this ratio keep cool that one act is in violation of the Constitution and to touch it, to be sure of much.

Since the first president according to the Constitution in China since 72 years. In the meantime, there are 15 very prominent citizens have presided over the executive branch of the government. The performance of their duties in many hardships and dangers, generally with great success. However, although such a precedent, I now hold the constitutional term only a short 4 years of the same job, but under great and peculiar difficulty. The federal division, previously only a threat, but now has become a terrible action.

From the general legal and constitutional point of view, I think the state Federation is permanent. In the fundamental law of all national governments, permanent even if not clearly defined, is not blind and analogy. We are sure to say, no formal government included an ending his ruling in terms of organization in the process of. Continue to implement the constitutional clause, the Union will exist forever, the destruction of the federal is impossible, unless some action is not stipulated in the Constitution itself. Again: if the United States not be worthy of the name of the government, but has the contractual nature of the states of the union, so, as a kind of contract, the alliance can not dispute by less than all the parties who cancel them? One party can default -- can also be said about -- but, lawfully rescind contract does not need the contracting parties agree? From these general principles on the lower push, we think that, from a legal point of view, the federal is confirmed by the claim that a permanent has been the history of the union itself. Federal is much older than the constitution. In fact, in 1774 according to the "joint" composed of terms. In 1776, "Declaration of independence" make it matured and continued. In 1778 the "articles of Confederation" make federal increasingly mature, 13 states that have take an oath devoutly to clear that federal should last forever, at last, the standard of the 1787 Constitution declared that "City federal building more perfect".

However, if destruction of the union by a state or states to be canceled in accordance with the law, the union is less perfect than before the constitution, having lost the important factors of permanent.

According to these ideas, a state not only by his own motion can legally secede; and for this purpose and the resolutions and ordinances are invalid in law, the violence of any state or states against the authority of the United States should according to the hydrophobic condition as rebellion or revolution. Therefore, I think, according to the Constitution and laws, the union is unbroken; I will be as the Constitution itself expressly granted me permission, my ability and, that the laws of the union be faithfully executed in all the states. I think this is just part of my job, I will be the feasible method to finish, unless my rightful owner -- USA people, don't give me the necessary means to authority, or to make way for instructions to the contrary, I believe we will see this as a threat, but only as the federal the announced target: it will be in accordance with the constitution to protect and maintain its own.

Physically speaking, we can not be separated, we cannot put all other cases, not in each other and erected a plugging insurmountable walls. Couples can divorce, no longer meet, don't contact each other, but the different parts of our country can not do. They still face to face, or friendly or hostile exchanges have between them. Then, after the separation, the possibility of communication than the separate before more good, more satisfactory? Outsiders to make treaties easier than between friends make laws easily? Implementation of the treaty between aliens don't than friends to enforce the law the faithful? Suppose you go to war, you can not fight always; on both sides suffered heavy losses, after any party is not good, you will stop fighting, you will encounter the old problems such as communication conditions such as.

All the powers of the president from the people, but people are not authorized to him for the separation conditions prescribed by the state. If people have the will, they may do so, as president, it is not possible to do so. His responsibility is to manage to his government, well it completely over to his successor.

Why can't we have on people's patient confidence in the ultimate justice? The world is there any better or equal hope? In our present differences, is both a lack of faith of being in the right? If the Almighty ruler of nations, with his eternal truth and justice, the north side of you, support you on this side or the south, then, that truth and that justice will be passed USA people the great court victory.

These American people, through our existing government structures, wise to their public servants very little power, so that they cannot force for mischief, and the same sensible at very short intervals have little power back to their own hands. While the people retain their strength and vigilance, no matter how evil and stupid ruling personnel are not in the short 4 years of term of office is very serious harm to the government. My fellow citizens, we calm and thinking seriously about the problem. Any valuable things will because calm to lose, if there is a goal urgently urge you to any one take a measure, and you must not be unhurried, so that the target will be frustrated calmly treat; however, any good goal is not frustrated because calm treat, you now I feel not satisfied people still have a good element damage the original, constitution, and, on the sensitive issues, you have your own according to the law of the constitution; and the new government even want to change these two kind of situations, there is no direct authority to do that. Those people who are not satisfied in this debate even recognized as stand on the right side, also does not have a legitimate reason to take reckless action. Intelligence, patriotism, and a firm reliance on this piece of land of happiness never abandon faith in God, they can still take the best way to solve all our present difficulties. Dissatisfied compatriots, is the momentous issue of civil war in your hands, but is not in my hands, the government will not attack you. You not to provoke, it will face the conflict. You are not in heaven to destroy the government, while I shall have the most solemn one set: "stick to, protect and defend the constitution of the United states." I am loath to close. We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Although the emotional tension, also must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory, from the heart and home every beating every battlefield and patriotism of graves all over this broad land, it will again be angels of our kind the dial, then will yet swell the chorus of the union movement.

 

 

Be of one heart and one mind to unite

　　Thomas Jefferson first inaugural address

Washington, Wednesday, March 4, 1801

Friends, fellow citizens:

The chief executive, I call for countries, on the occasion of my fellow citizens assembly, I sincerely thank you all my love, sincerely say, I realized that this task is beyond my might, the great responsibility, shallow book my ability, natural to fear and when I took office. Emerging countries a vast, with rich industrial product cross, with those who feel power, regardless of the axiom of countries for trade, to the world of unforeseen Kismet running -- when I think about these great goal, when I think of this lovely country, its glory, happiness and hope to the problem and today's ceremony, I dare not think again, and the face of the enterprise Debonengxian ashamed. Indeed, if not here to see many gentlemen present, reminds me that no matter what difficulties, can be source of another senior institutions to the constitution of the search for wisdom, virtue and enthusiasm, I will completely lose heart. Therefore, for legislative duties sacred gentlemen and gentlemen concerned, I summon up courage to expect you to give guidance and support, so that we can to pull together in times of trouble in disputes in troubled times, Enron.

In the past we exchange opinions, we had a heated discussion, develop their potentials, this tension, sometimes not accustomed to the freedom of thought, not accustomed to say or write down his ideas people uncomfortable; but now, the debate has been decided by the voice of the nation, and according to the provisions of the Constitution to be published of course, we will obey the laws of will, arrange for the common interests, make concerted efforts, we will remember this sacred principle; in any case, the will of the majority is the decisive role, but this will only attention must be reasonable and fair; few people enjoy the same rights, such rights must be also under the protection of the law, if the violation is oppression. Therefore, citizens, let us be of one heart and one mind to unite. Let us in the harmony, affection, without these, freedom, and even life itself are flat and uninteresting, let us think again, we have the intolerance caused by human blood, long suffering religious belief from abroad, if we encourage the sort of political intolerance, the despotic, cruel, evil and can cause bloody persecution are similar, so we will have no harvest. When the throes and convulsions of the ancient world, when the anger of people struggle through blood, killing to find lost people's freedom, the waves of passion will even impact this remote and peaceful shore; this feeling and suffering, not people, so the safety measures views diverge these are, be not at all surprising. However, every difference of opinion is not a difference of principle. We call upon the same principle in different name brothers. We are all Republicans, we are all Federalists, if one of us wants to disband the federal, or to change its republican form, let them without interference as the peace monument, because of the peace, error of opinion may be tolerated, reason is left free to struggle with. Yes, I know, some honest men fear that a republican government can not be strong, that this government is not strong enough; but, in the full tide of successful experiment, a true patriot, don't because of a hypothetical and fantasy and fear, that this is the world's best hope, the government may need power to preserve itself, so give up this has so far kept us free and firm government? I believe that will. On the contrary, I believe that this is the strongest government in the world. I believe that only in the governance of the government, everyone will respond to the call of the law, the law under the banner of the immediate interests, like that, against the invasions of the public order: sometimes we heard a saying: do not allow people to manage their own. Then, let him go to manage others? Or, we rule the people found in the list without the king? Let history answer this question.

Therefore, let us take the courage and confidence, forced to seek our own federal and Republican principles, time to union and representative government. We benefit from the nature and the ocean barrier, immune from the 1/4 areas on the earth by the devastating Ho moving;

Our character, do not tolerate others fall; have a good state, its vast enough to accommodate future generations; we are fully aware of the personal ability to play, work diligently to get income, respected and trusted compatriot, everyone enjoys equal rights, but the respect and trust not by birth, but for the sake of our behavior and fellow judge; we are benevolent religious enlightenment, despite the different sects, in various forms, but they all teach honesty, loyalty, kindness, gratitude and control; we acknowledge and worship of Almighty God, and that he was willing to make the fate, people here get happiness, the future will be more happiness -- we have the well-being, what is the need to make us happy and prosperous nation? Fellow citizens, we also need a, it's a wise and frugal government, it will stop people hurt each other, that they are free to manage their own industry and improvement activities, it is not against the people's labor. This is the sum of good government, and this is to close the circle of our felicities.

Citizens, I will fulfill their duties, these responsibilities include everything, you cherish it, you should understand what is the basic principle of what I think, what is the determination of administrative principle. I will try to briefly described, only the general principle, but not all its limitations. To implement the equality and real equality, regardless of their religious or political status or factions; peace with all countries, business dealings, sincere and friendly, and enter into an alliance with any country, maintenance for all rights of state government, use them as the interior mechanism of power, and to resist the most reliable barrier anti Republican trend; all the energy to maintain national government in constitutional, as the domestic stability and international security of last resort; faithfully to safeguard people's election -- will it as a mild and safe means of correction, correction of defects of revolutionary left, no peace remedy; absolute agree with the majority decision, because it is the main principle, Republican vice, without recourse to public opinion and resort to Wu Linai is and the direct root main principles of despotism; a well disciplined militia, as usual, and the initial stage of the war the best to rely on, until the regular army to replace the paper; authority over the military authority; save the government spending, reduce the labor burden of debt; honest, solemnly to maintain the credibility of the government; the encouragement of agriculture, supplemented by the commercial dissemination of information, Taking the public intelligence principles to remedy defects and rectify errors; religious freedom; freedom of the press and freedom of person, according to the personal law and justice for jury trial to ensure the freedom of the person. These principles form the bright constellation, it light gate in front of us, guide us through the revolution and reform first XI Lang, wisdom and blood of our heroes have made contributions to realize these principles, these principles should be our political creed, civic education curriculum the touchstone, we believe Cao's work of the people, if we because of a mistake or frightened back on these principles, let's hurry back, back to the one leading to a peaceful, free and safe avenue.

Fellow citizens, I will assume the post you have assigned me. According to me as many lower job experience, I have realized that this is the most arduous duty, complete this, I can expect, when an imperfect man to retire from this, rarely like deep advances into it. I dare not Huang like you trust our first great revolutionary hero to me like a high degree of trust, because of his outstanding meritorious service made him the most qualified by the national love stamp, made him the faithful history and a page, I only ask you give me much confidence, so that people can firmly, effectively according to the management of our affairs. The judge is wrong, I will often make mistakes. Even if I am right, those who look at the problem is not on the overall plan on the position of the people, always think that I was wrong, I beg your indulgence for my own errors, but these errors is not done on purpose, I ask you to support me against the errors of others, and these people if all consider, too will never make. From the results of the vote, everyone is very praise of my past, and this was a great consolation to me; I want is, to grant me praise you can maintain this praise, in my scope of functions and powers, as every other services in order to win their praise, and for all compatriots happiness and freedom try to.

Now, I rely on your kindness, humble position, once you feel the need to make you have a right to make a better choice, I was ready to quit the job. May dominate Yao the destinies of the universe lead our organization perfected, and for your peace and prosperity, give them a favorable results.

 

 

American's experiment

　　First inaugural address of George Washington

　　New York Thursday, April 30, 1789

The Senate and the house of Representatives compatriots:

In the ups and downs of life, not a thing to this month 14 days received according to inform your order on the more makes me anxious, on the one hand, I was summoned by my country, for her call, I will always be yours to retreat from; but in end I choose to love, full of hope and sincere love determination, the hobby and habit, and the passage of time, the health gradually decline, when the feeling of physical strength, necessary and valuable sense retreat. On the other hand, the state called the responsibility I so great and arduous, enough to make the wisest and most experienced of one degree, and I was foolish chaos, practice and no civil administration, should feel their lack of ability, so it must be difficult to shoulder this responsibility. In this conflict of the mood, I only dare to assert that, through the correct estimation may influence all circumstance my duty, but true to the core goal of my efforts. All I dare hope that, if I perform this task because of reveling in the past, or because of my confidence of my fellow citizens, and thus have too much influence, so that the treatment had never experienced great, ignoring their own incompetence and negative, I will reduce due to errors make my motives led astray, and everyone in the evaluation error consequences; will be appropriate inclusion produce these motivation bias.

Since this is my calling his post of feeling, in observance of the public, the oath of office on the occasion, if not prayed earnestly to God Almighty is extremely inappropriate, because God ruled the universe, dominate the governments, it can compensate for any lack of God helps the human, may God bless you, Kan a for America freedom and happiness of the people and the composition of the government, bless it for these basic purpose and dedication, bless all administrative measures of the government can successfully play a role in the charge of me. I believe, in to the great author of public interests and private interests of this homage, these live also expression of my fellow citizens at large. No one can recognize more than Americans not to move or retreat to the affairs of men and worship god. They are in a separate state in the process, it seems every step there are signs of a providential major reforms in the federal government; they just accomplished in the system of, if not the tranquil deliberations, if not humble look past seem to presage blessing comes, then, to complete the reform calm thinking through many different groups and voluntary consent, this way is to be mentioned in the same breath form can't be compared with most of the government. In the present crisis, I have these ideas are really deep feelings and lose self-control, I believe everyone will and I have said, that in addition to rely on the power of God, of a new and free government can more the beginning of everything. By the article establishing the executive department, it is the responsibility of the president "will he deems necessary and appropriate measures to congress". But on this occasion now meet you, I do not discuss it further, but only to refer to the great constitution, which you are assembled, it provides your powers, that you should pay attention to the target. On such occasions, more appropriate, which also reflects the feelings which actuate me is not put forward specific measures, but praise will elect planning and adoption of these measures can, integrity and patriotism. I saw the most reliable guarantee from these noble character: first, any local prejudices or attachments, any differences of opinion or parties hostile, cannot make us from the global view and fair view, namely must maintain this composed of different regions and the interests of large joint; therefore, second, China the policy will be pure and strong personal moral principle as the basis, and the government will be free to win all the characteristics of the people and the respect of the world shows its superiority. I'm on the state of an ardent love inspired me with joy on this prospect, because according to the Constitution and the development trend of nature, between virtue and happiness, between duty and interest, scrupulously honest generous policy and social prosperity and happiness of fruits, have inseparable unity; because we should be the same believe, God dictated order water constant and right to rule, it must never be on national kindly ignore these rules to be praised; because people behoove, affectionately, may be the last of the preservation of the sacred fire of liberty and the fate of the Republic government, department to Americans as experiment.

I have a feeling this gathering ideas tell everybody, I want to leave now; but until then, I want to again in humble supplication merciful God for help. Because thanks to the grace of God, the Americans have over in one's mind opportunities, and to ensure that federal safety and promote the well-being, to determine the system of government with the intention agreement hitherto unknown; therefore, it is also evident, God will bless us to expand their horizons, heart gas and consultations, and act sensibly, and these are relying on the government necessary for success.
