Quotes from the Inaugural Speech...

I was just reading through the Presidents speech, and the following few paragraphs caught my attention, so I wanted to share them. I think they bear repeating.

Today I say to you that the challenges we face are real. They are serious
and they are many. They will not be met easily or in a short span of
time. But know this America: They will be met.

...

Our challenges may be new. The instruments with which we meet them may be new. But those values upon which our success depends -- honesty and hard work, courage and fair play, tolerance and curiosity, loyalty and patriotism -- these things are old. These things are true. They have been the quiet force of progress throughout our history.
~ President Barack H. Obama, January 20, 2009
