There are those timid souls that say this battle cannot be won; that we are condemned to a soulless wealth. I do not agree. We have the power to shape the civilization that we want. But we need your will and your labor and your hearts, if we are to build that kind of society.
Those who came to this land sought to build more than just a new country. They sought a new world. So I have come here today to your campus to say that you can make their vision our reality. So let us from this moment begin our work so that in the future men will look back and say: It was then, after a long and weary way, that man turned the exploits of his genius to the full enrichment of his life.
Thank you. Good-bye.
一个懦夫的幽灵在我们头上徘徊，说什么我们不会打赢这场战斗，我们注定要守着一堆没有灵魂的财富。我反对这种说法。我们有能力构建我们所需要的文明。但是，如果我们要创建那样一个社会，我们需要你们的意志，你们的努力和你们的热情。来到这块土地上的先辈们，绝非仅仅是为了创建一个新国家，而是需求一个全新的世界。所以，我今天来到你们的校园对你们说：你们能够让先辈的幻想变为我们的现实。让我们从现在开始行动起来，让后人回顾我们这段历史时说：那是这样一段历史，那一代人经过在漫长道路上的艰苦跋涉，把自己的天赋神奇地转变成在精神和物质上都很丰富的生活。
谢谢大家。再见。
