The nation with the greatest moral power will win. Of that are born armies and navies and the resolution to endure.
Have faith in the moral power of America. It gave independence under Washington and freedom under Lincoln.
Here, right never lost. Here, wrong never won.
However powerful the forces of evil may appear, somewhere there are more powerful forces of righteousness.
Courage and confidence are our heritage. Justice is our might.
The outcome is in your hand, my fellow American; if you deserve to win, the Nation cannot lose.
– Calvin Coolidge,
