:小布什演讲稿

　　Sometimes in life we are called to do great things. 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 will live and lead by these principles: to advance my convictions with civility, to pursue the public

　　interest with courage, to speak for greater justice and compassion, to call for responsibility and try to live it as well.

　　In all these ways, I will bring the valuesss of our history to the care of our times.

　　What you do is as important as anything government does. I ask you to seek a common good beyond your comfort;to defend needed reforms against easy attacks; to serve your nation, beginning with your neighbor. I ask you

　　to be citizens: citizens, not spectators; citizens, not subjects; responsible citizens, building communities of

　　service and a nation of character.

　　Americans 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 replace it. When this

　　spirit is present, no wrong can stand against it.
