“In reaffirming the greatness of our nation, we understand that greatness has never given. It must be earned. Our journey has never been one of shortcuts or settling for less. It has not been the path for the faint-hearted….. It has been the risk-takers, the doers, the makers of things some celebrated but more often men and woman obscure in their labor, who have carried up the long rugged path toward prosperity and freedom.”
Inauguration Speech
