This is an excerpt from a presidential speech.
The Great Society rests on abundance and liberty for all. It
demands an end to poverty and racial injustice....
The Great Society is a place where every child can find
knowledge to enrich his mind and to enlarge his talents....
It is a place where man can renew contact with nature. It is
a place which honors creation for its own sake and for what
it adds to the understanding of the race. It is a place where
men are more concerned with the quality of their goals than
the quantity of their goods.

University of Michigan, May 22, 1964
