...Destiny is discovery...
...We must discover certain values...
...and we must learn to live them and to make them important...
...For it is our job , our destiny , to preserve the work of the ages , to advance it ,
...and to make it grow...
...to preserve the heritage we have and pass it on as a better heritage to others...
...These are our jobs , and we have a great deal of work to do...
...So the problem is to stop fussing and worrying , stop being self-pitying ,
...and roll up our sleeves and go to work...
...And let us begin with the one unit in which we know we can succeed if we want to -
...OURSELVES...
...Moving out from that , from accomplishment , we will find that , by degrees ,
...we can watch the world grow better as the result of the conscientious effort...
...of even a small minority of enlightened persons who have accepted their job...
...and who realize what their true destiny actually is...
