"Men may fail in this country, earthquakes may come, seas may
heave beyond their bounds, there may be great drought, disaster, and
hardship, but this nation, founded on principles laid down by men whom
God raised up, will never fail. This is the cradle of humanity, where
life on this earth began in the Garden of Eden. This is the place of the New Jerusalem. This is the place that the Lord said is favored above
all other nations in all the world. This is the place where the Savior
will come to His temple. This is the favored land in all the world. Yes,
I repeat, men may fail, but this nation won’t fail. I have faith in
America; you and I must have faith in America, if we understand the
teachings of the gospel of Jesus Christ. We are living in a day when we
must pay heed to these challenges.
"I plead with you not to preach pessimism. Preach that this is the greatest country in all the world. This is the favored land. This is the land of our forefathers. It is the nation that will stand despite whatever trials or crises it may yet have to pass through."

I gotta put this on my wall!
