“I do not choose to be a common man. It is my right to uncommon-if i can.I seek opportunity-not security. I do not wish to be a kept citizen,humbled and dulled by having the State look after me. I want to take the calculated risk:to dream and to build, to fail anfd succeed.


I refuse to barter incentive for dole. I prefer the challenges of life to the gaurenteed existence:the thrill of fulfillment to the stale calm of Utopia. I will not trade freedom for beneficence, nor my dignity for a handot. I will never cower before any master nor bend to any threat.


It is my heritage to stand erect, proud and unafraid. To think and act for myself, to worship as I please,enjoy the benefit of my creations and to face the world boldly and say "this I have done." All this is what it means to e an American.
