What it takes to form a nation:
Dedication to higher principles.
Clarification of identity.
Exploration of the unknown.
Devotion to a cause.
Consecration to learning.
Sacrifice, sacrifice, sacrifice.
And, what’s at stake:
Freedom from tyranny.
Independence of purpose, thought and action.
Manifest destiny.
Discovery of new frontiers.
Becoming your own authority.
What it takes to develop the self:
Dedication to higher principles.
Clarification of identity.
Exploration of the unknown.
Devotion to a cause.
Consecration to learning.
Sacrifice, sacrifice, sacrifice.
And, what’s at stake:
Freedom from tyranny.
Independence of purpose, thought and action.
