These are some of the great conflicts that exist in this country at the moment.
Unless we make an effort, all of us,
to try to have an understanding of one another
and to have some tolerance,
to listen to the point of view of the other person,
even perhaps if we disagree, to make that kind of effort.
If we don't do that,
our society can't be successful, in the last analysis,
and that's what we need.
Democracy has the greatest amount of freedom,
but it's also the greatest amount of personal responsibility
and personal discipline.
If we lose that and we turn to violence
and everybody that disagrees with us
and calls a dirty name,
or we say that anybody that disagrees with us should be destroyed,
sometimes physically,
where are we going to be in this country?

Truly we have a great gross national product,
almost 800 billion dollars,
but can that be the criterion by which we judge this country?
Is it enough?
For the gross national product counts air pollution
and cigarette advertising
and ambulances to clear our highways of carnage.
It counts special locks for our doors
and jails for the people who break them.
It counts Whitman's rifle
and Speck's knife
and television programs,
which glorify violence in order to sell toys to our children.
And the gross national product,
the gross national product does not allow for the health of our children,
the quality of their education,
the joy of their play.
It is indifferent to the decency of our factories and the safety of our streets alike.
It does not include the beauty of our poetry or the strength of our marriages,
the intelligence of our public debate or the integrity of our public officials.
It measures neither wit nor courage,
neither our wisdom nor our learning,
neither our compassion nor our duty to our country.
It measures everything, in short,
except that which makes life worthwhile.
