"In reaffirming the greatness of our nation, we understand that greatness is never a given. It must be earned. Our journey has never been one of shortcuts or settling for less. It has not been the path for the faint-hearted -- for those who prefer leisure over work, or seek only the pleasures of riches and fame. Rather, it has been the risk-takers, the doers, the makers of things -- some celebrated but more often men and women obscure in their labor, who have carried us up the long, rugged path towards prosperity and freedom."
President Obama - January 20, 2009

He said it well -Glad you pulled this out.
I thought this passage ws equally inspiring:
...there is nothing so satisfying to the spirit, so defining of our character, than giving our all to a difficult task.
