Comprehending
A multicultural community
Tonight we proved once more that the true strength of our nation comes not from the might of our arms or the scale of our wealth, but from the enduring power of our ideals: democracy, liberty, opportunity and unyielding hope.
---Barack Obama
我们民族的真正实力并不是来自于武力和财富，而是来自于我们理想的力量：民主，自由，机遇以及永不屈服的希望。
We are shaped by every language and culture, drawn from every end of this Earth
But those values upon which our success depends - hard work and honesty, courage and fair play, tolerance and curiosity, loyalty and patriotism - these things are old. These things are true.
