It will require sacrifice, but it can be done, and +done fairly. Not choosing sacrifice for its own sake, but for OUR own +sake. We must provide for our nation the way a family provides for its +children. Our founders saw themselves in the light of posterity. We +can do no less.

Let us all take more +responsibility, not only for ourselves and our families, but for our +communities and our country. To renew America we must revitalize +our democracy. This beautiful capitol, like every capitol since +the dawn of civilization, is often a place of intrigue and calculation. +Powerful people maneuver for position and worry endlessly about who is +IN and who is OUT, who is UP and who is DOWN, forgetting those people +whose toil and sweat sends us here and paves our way. + +Americans deserve better, and in this city today there are people +who want to do better, and so I say to all of you here, let us resolve +to reform our politics, so that power and privilege no longer shout down +the voice of the people. Let us put aside personal advantage, so that we +can feel the pain and see the promise of America. Let us resolve to make +our government a place for what Franklin Roosevelt called "bold, +persistent experimentation, a government for our tomorrows, not our +yesterdays." Let us give this capitol back to the people to whom it +belongs. + +To renew America we must meet challenges abroad, as well as at home. +There is no longer a clear division between what is foreign and what is +domestic. The world economy, the world environment, the world AIDS +crisis, the world arms race: they affect us all. Today as an old order +passes, the new world is more free, but less stable. Communism's +collapse has called forth old animosities, and new dangers. Clearly, +America must continue to lead the world we did so much to make. While +America rebuilds at home, we will not shrink from the challenges nor +fail to seize the opportunities of this new world. Together with our +friends and allies, we will work together to shape change, lest it +engulf us. When our vital interests are challenged, or the will and +conscience of the international community is defied, we will act; with +peaceful diplomacy whenever possible, with force when necessary. The +brave Americans serving our nation today in the Persian Gulf, in Somalia, +and wherever else they stand, are testament to our resolve, but our +greatest strength is the power of our ideas, which are still new in many +lands. Across the world, we see them embraced and we rejoice. Our hopes, +our hearts, our hands, are with those on every continent, who are building +democracy and freedom. Their cause is America's cause. The American +people have summoned the change we celebrate today. You have raised your +voices in an unmistakable chorus, you have cast your votes in historic +numbers, you have changed the face of congress, the presidency, and the +political process itself. Yes, YOU, my fellow Americans, have forced the +spring. Now WE must do the work the season demands. To that work I now +turn with ALL the authority of my office. I ask the congress to join +with me; but no president, no congress, no government can undertake THIS +mission alone. + +My fellow Americans, you, too, must play your part in our renewal. +I challenge a new generation of YOUNG Americans to a season of service, +to act on your idealism, by helping troubled children, keeping company +with those in need, reconnecting our torn communities. There is so much +to be done. Enough, indeed, for millions of others who are still young +in spirit, to give of themselves in service, too. In serving we recognize +a simple, but powerful, truth: we need each other, and we must care for +one another. Today we do more than celebrate America, we rededicate +ourselves to the very idea of America, an idea born in revolution, +and renewed through two centuries of challenge, an idea tempered by +the knowledge that but for fate, we, the fortunate and the unfortunate, +might have been each other; an idea ennobled by the faith that our nation +can summon from its myriad diversity, the deepest measure of unity; +an idea infused with the conviction that America's journey long, heroic +journey must go forever upward. + +And so, my fellow Americans, as we stand at the edge of the 21st Century, +let us begin anew, with energy and hope, with faith and discipline, and +let us work until our work is done. The Scripture says: "And let us not +be weary in well-doing, for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not." +From this joyful mountaintop of celebration we hear a call to service in +the valley. We have heard the trumpets, we have changed the guard, and +now each in our own way, and with God's help, we must answer the call. + +Thank you, and God bless you all. + + + + + + + + +End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of Inaugural Presidential Address, by +William Jefferson Clinton + +*** END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK 10510 *** diff --git a/10510-h/10510-h.htm b/10510-h/10510-h.htm new file mode 100644 index 0000000..b209bf0 --- /dev/null +++ b/10510-h/10510-h.htm @@ -0,0 +1,249 @@ +<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> +<HTML> +<HEAD> + +<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> + +<TITLE> +The Project Gutenberg E-text of Inaugural Presidential Address, +by William Jefferson Clinton +</TITLE> + +<STYLE TYPE="text/css"> +BODY { color: Black; + background: White; + margin-right: 10%; + margin-left: 10%; + font-size: medium; + font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; + text-align: justify } + +P {text-indent: 4% } + +P.noindent {text-indent: 0% } + +P.intro {font-size: small ; + text-indent: 0% ; + margin-left: 0% ; + margin-right: 0% } + + +</STYLE> + +</HEAD> + +<BODY> +<div>*** START OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK 10510 ***</div> + +<BR><BR> + +<P CLASS="intro"> +The following 1600 words comprise William Jefferson Clinton's +Inaugural Presidential Address given from noon to 12:15 P.M., +January 20, 1993. +</P> + +<P CLASS="intro"> +[Capitals represent emphasis, extra commas represent pauses, +long pauses are represented by ellipses (. . .).] +</P> + +<BR><BR> + +<H1 ALIGN="center"> +Bill Clinton's Inaugural Address +</H1> + +<BR> + +<P> +My fellow citizens, today we celebrate the mystery of American renewal. +This ceremony is held in the depth of winter, but by the words we speak +and the faces we show the world, we force the spring.

The world economy, the world environment, the world AIDS +crisis, the world arms race: they affect us all. Today as an old order +passes, the new world is more free, but less stable. Communism's +collapse has called forth old animosities, and new dangers. Clearly, +America must continue to lead the world we did so much to make. While +America rebuilds at home, we will not shrink from the challenges nor +fail to seize the opportunities of this new world. Together with our +friends and allies, we will work together to shape change, lest it +engulf us. When our vital interests are challenged, or the will and +conscience of the international community is defied, we will act; with +peaceful diplomacy whenever possible, with force when necessary. The +brave Americans serving our nation today in the Persian Gulf, in Somalia, +and wherever else they stand, are testament to our resolve, but our +greatest strength is the power of our ideas, which are still new in many +lands. Across the world, we see them embraced and we rejoice. Our hopes, +our hearts, our hands, are with those on every continent, who are building +democracy and freedom. Their cause is America's cause. The American +people have summoned the change we celebrate today. You have raised your +voices in an unmistakable chorus, you have cast your votes in historic +numbers, you have changed the face of congress, the presidency, and the +political process itself. Yes, YOU, my fellow Americans, have forced the +spring. Now WE must do the work the season demands. To that work I now +turn with ALL the authority of my office. I ask the congress to join +with me; but no president, no congress, no government can undertake THIS +mission alone. +</P> + +<P> +My fellow Americans, you, too, must play your part in our renewal. +I challenge a new generation of YOUNG Americans to a season of service, +to act on your idealism, by helping troubled children, keeping company +with those in need, reconnecting our torn communities. There is so much +to be done. Enough, indeed, for millions of others who are still young +in spirit, to give of themselves in service, too. In serving we recognize +a simple, but powerful, truth: we need each other, and we must care for +one another. Today we do more than celebrate America, we rededicate +ourselves to the very idea of America, an idea born in revolution, +and renewed through two centuries of challenge, an idea tempered by +the knowledge that but for fate, we, the fortunate and the unfortunate, +might have been each other; an idea ennobled by the faith that our nation +can summon from its myriad diversity, the deepest measure of unity; +an idea infused with the conviction that America's journey long, heroic +journey must go forever upward. +</P> + +<P> +And so, my fellow Americans, as we stand at the edge of the 21st Century, +let us begin anew, with energy and hope, with faith and discipline, and +let us work until our work is done. The Scripture says: "And let us not +be weary in well-doing, for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not." +From this joyful mountaintop of celebration we hear a call to service in +the valley. We have heard the trumpets, we have changed the guard, and +now each in our own way, and with God's help, we must answer the call. +</P> + +<P> +Thank you, and God bless you all. +</P> + +<BR><BR><BR><BR> + + + + + + + + +<pre> + + + + + +End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of Inaugural Presidential Address, by +William Jefferson Clinton + +*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK INAUGURAL PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS *** + +***** This file should be named 10510-h.htm or 10510-h.zip ***** +This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: + https://www.gutenberg.org/1/0/5/1/10510/ + + + +Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions +will be renamed. + +Creating the works from public domain print editions means that no +one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation +(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without +permission and without paying copyright royalties.

A spring reborn in +the world's oldest democracy, that brings forth the vision and courage +to reinvent America. When our founders boldly declared America's +independence to the world, and our purposes to the Almighty, they knew +that America, to endure, would have to change. Not change for change +sake, but change to preserve America's ideals: life, liberty, the +pursuit of happiness. + +Though we march to the music of our time, our mission is timeless. +Each generation of American's must define what it means to be an American. +On behalf of our nation, I salute my predecessor, President Bush, for his +half-century of service to America . . . and I thank the millions of men +and women whose steadfastness and sacrifice triumphed over depression, +fascism and communism. + +Today, a generation raised in the shadows of the Cold War assumes new +responsibilities in a world warmed by the sunshine of freedom, but +threatened still by ancient hatreds and new plagues. Raised in +unrivalled prosperity, we inherit an economy that is still the world's +strongest, but is weakened by business failures, stagnant wages, +increasing inequality, and deep divisions among OUR OWN people. + +When George Washington first took the oath I have just sworn to uphold, +news travelled slowly across the land by horseback, and across the ocean +by boat. Now the sights and sounds of this ceremony are broadcast +instantaneously to billions around the world. Communications and +commerce are global. Investment is mobile. Technology is almost magical, +and ambition for a better life is now universal. + +We earn our livelihood in America today in peaceful competition with +people all across the Earth. Profound and powerful forces are shaking +and remaking our world, and the URGENT question of our time is whether +we can make change our friend and not our enemy. This new world has +already enriched the lives of MILLIONS of Americans who are able to +compete and win in it. But when most people are working harder for less, +when others cannot work at all, when the cost of health care devastates +families and threatens to bankrupt our enterprises, great and small; +when the fear of crime robs law abiding citizens of their freedom; and +when millions of poor children cannot even imagine the lives we are +calling them to lead, we have not made change our friend. + +We know we have to face hard truths and take strong steps, +but we have not done so. Instead we have drifted, and that +drifting has eroded our resources, fractured our economy, +and shaken our confidence. Though our challenges are fearsome, +so are our strengths. Americans have ever been a restless, questing, +hopeful people, and we must bring to our task today the vision +and will of those who came before us. From our Revolution to the +Civil War, to the Great Depression, to the Civil Rights movement, +our people have always mustered the determination to construct from +these crises the pillars of our history. Thomas Jefferson believed +that to preserve the very foundations of our nation we would need +dramatic change from time to time. Well, my fellow Americans, +this is OUR time. Let us embrace it. + +Our democracy must be not only the envy of the world but the engine of +our OWN renewal. There is nothing WRONG with America that cannot be +cured by what is RIGHT with America. + +And so today we pledge an end to the era of deadlock and drift, and a +new season of American renewal has begun. + +To renew America we must be bold. We must do what no generation has had +to do before. We must invest more in our own people, in their jobs, and +in their future, and at the same time cut our massive debt. . .and we +must do so in a world in which we must compete for every opportunity. +It will not be easy. It will require sacrifice, but it can be done, and +done fairly. Not choosing sacrifice for its own sake, but for OUR own +sake. We must provide for our nation the way a family provides for its +children. Our founders saw themselves in the light of posterity. We +can do no less. Anyone who has ever watched a child's eyes wander into +sleep knows what posterity is. Posterity is the world to come, the world +for whom we hold our ideals, from whom we have borrowed our planet, and +to whom we bear sacred responsibilities. We must do what America does +best, offer more opportunity TO all and demand more responsibility FROM +all. + +It is time to break the bad habit of expecting something for nothing: +from our government, or from each other. Let us all take more +responsibility, not only for ourselves and our families, but for our +communities and our country. To renew America we must revitalize +our democracy. This beautiful capitol, like every capitol since +the dawn of civilization, is often a place of intrigue and calculation. +Powerful people maneuver for position and worry endlessly about who is +IN and who is OUT, who is UP and who is DOWN, forgetting those people +whose toil and sweat sends us here and paves our way. + +Americans deserve better, and in this city today there are people +who want to do better, and so I say to all of you here, let us resolve +to reform our politics, so that power and privilege no longer shout down +the voice of the people. Let us put aside personal advantage, so that we +can feel the pain and see the promise of America. Let us resolve to make +our government a place for what Franklin Roosevelt called "bold, +persistent experimentation, a government for our tomorrows, not our +yesterdays." Let us give this capitol back to the people to whom it +belongs. + +To renew America we must meet challenges abroad, as well as at home. +There is no longer a clear division between what is foreign and what is +domestic. The world economy, the world environment, the world AIDS +crisis, the world arms race: they affect us all. Today as an old order +passes, the new world is more free, but less stable. Communism's +collapse has called forth old animosities, and new dangers. Clearly, +America must continue to lead the world we did so much to make. While +America rebuilds at home, we will not shrink from the challenges nor +fail to seize the opportunities of this new world. Together with our +friends and allies, we will work together to shape change, lest it +engulf us. When our vital interests are challenged, or the will and +conscience of the international community is defied, we will act; with +peaceful diplomacy whenever possible, with force when necessary. The +brave Americans serving our nation today in the Persian Gulf, in Somalia, +and wherever else they stand, are testament to our resolve, but our +greatest strength is the power of our ideas, which are still new in many +lands. Across the world, we see them embraced and we rejoice. Our hopes, +our hearts, our hands, are with those on every continent, who are building +democracy and freedom. Their cause is America's cause. The American +people have summoned the change we celebrate today. You have raised your +voices in an unmistakable chorus, you have cast your votes in historic +numbers, you have changed the face of congress, the presidency, and the +political process itself. Yes, YOU, my fellow Americans, have forced the +spring. Now WE must do the work the season demands. To that work I now +turn with ALL the authority of my office. I ask the congress to join +with me; but no president, no congress, no government can undertake THIS +mission alone. + +My fellow Americans, you, too, must play your part in our renewal. +I challenge a new generation of YOUNG Americans to a season of service, +to act on your idealism, by helping troubled children, keeping company +with those in need, reconnecting our torn communities. There is so much +to be done. Enough, indeed, for millions of others who are still young +in spirit, to give of themselves in service, too.

The Scripture says: "And let us not +be weary in well-doing, for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not." +From this joyful mountaintop of celebration we hear a call to service in +the valley.

Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. diff --git a/old/10510.zip b/old/10510.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..bd6b665 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/10510.zip diff --git a/old/old/20031220.10510.txt b/old/old/20031220.10510.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..912f213 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/old/20031220.10510.txt @@ -0,0 +1,597 @@ +The Project Gutenberg EBook of Inaugural Presidential Address +by William Jefferson Clinton + +This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with +almost no restrictions whatsoever.

A spring reborn in +the world's oldest democracy, that brings forth the vision and courage +to reinvent America. When our founders boldly declared America's independence +to the world, and our purposes to the Almighty, they knew that America, +to endure, would have to change. Not change for change sake, but change +to preserve America's ideals: life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness. + +Though we march to the music of our time, our mission is timeless. +Each generation of American's must define what it means to be an American. +On behalf of our nation, I salute my predecessor, President Bush, for his +half-century of service to America . . . and I thank the millions of men +and women whose steadfastness and sacrifice triumphed over depression, +fascism and communism. + +Today, a generation raised in the shadows of the Cold War assumes new +responsibilities in a world warmed by the sunshine of freedom, but threatened +still by ancient hatreds and new plagues. Raised in unrivalled prosperity, +we inherit an economy that is still the world's strongest, but is weakened by +business failures, stagnant wages, increasing inequality, and deep divisions +among OUR OWN people. + +When George Washington first took the oath I have just sworn to uphold, news +travelled slowly across the land by horseback, and across the ocean by boat. +Now the sights and sounds of this ceremony are broadcast instantaneously to +billions around the world. Communications and commerce are global. +Investment is mobile. Technology is almost magical, and ambition for +a better life is now universal. + +We earn our livelihood in America today in peaceful competition with people +all across the Earth. Profound and powerful forces are shaking and remaking +our world, and the URGENT question of our time is whether we can make change +our friend and not our enemy. This new world has already enriched the lives +of MILLIONS of Americans who are able to compete and win in it. But when +most people are working harder for less, when others cannot work at all, +when the cost of health care devastates families and threatens to bankrupt +our enterprises, great and small; when the fear of crime robs law abiding +citizens of their freedom; and when millions of poor children cannot +even imagine the lives we are calling them to lead, we have not made +change our friend. + +We know we have to face hard truths and take strong steps, +but we have not done so. Instead we have drifted, and that +drifting has eroded our resources, fractured our economy, +and shaken our confidence. Though our challenges are fearsome, +so are our strengths. Americans have ever been a restless, questing, +hopeful people, and we must bring to our task today the vision +and will of those who came before us. From our Revolution to the +Civil War, to the Great Depression, to the Civil Rights movement, +our people have always mustered the determination to construct from +these crises the pillars of our history. Thomas Jefferson believed +that to preserve the very foundations of our nation we would need +dramatic change from time to time. Well, my fellow Americans, +this is OUR time. Let us embrace it. + +Our democracy must be not only the envy of the world but the engine of +our OWN renewal. There is nothing WRONG with America that cannot be cured +by what is RIGHT with America. + +And so today we pledge an end to the era of deadlock and drift, +and a new season of American renewal has begun. + +To renew America we must be bold. We must do what no generation +has had to do before. We must invest more in our own people, +in their jobs, and in their future, and at the same time cut +our massive debt. . .and we must do so in a world in which +we must compete for every opportunity. It will not be easy. +It will require sacrifice, but it can be done, and done fairly. +Not choosing sacrifice for its own sake, but for OUR own sake. +We must provide for our nation the way a family provides for its +children. Our founders saw themselves in the light of posterity. +We can do no less. Anyone who has ever watched a child's eyes +wander into sleep knows what posterity is. Posterity is the world +to come, the world for whom we hold our ideals, from whom we have +borrowed our planet, and to whom we bear sacred responsibilities. +We must do what America does best, offer more opportunity TO all +and demand more responsibility FROM all. + +It is time to break the bad habit of expecting something for nothing: +from our government, or from each other. Let us all take more +responsibility, not only for ourselves and our families, but for our +communities and our country. To renew America we must revitalize +our democracy. This beautiful capitol, like every capitol since +the dawn of civilization, is often a place of intrigue and calculation. +Powerful people maneuver for position and worry endlessly about who is +IN and who is OUT, who is UP and who is DOWN, forgetting those people +whose toil and sweat sends us here and paves our way. + +Americans deserve better, and in this city today there are people +who want to do better, and so I say to all of you here, let us resolve +to reform our politics, so that power and privilege no longer shout down +the voice of the people. Let us put aside personal advantage, so that we +can feel the pain and see the promise of America. Let us resolve to make +our government a place for what Franklin Roosevelt called "bold, persistent +experimentation, a government for our tomorrows, not our yesterdays." +Let us give this capitol back to the people to whom it belongs. + +To renew America we must meet challenges abroad, as well as at home. There +is no longer a clear division between what is foreign and what is domestic. +The world economy, the world environment, the world AIDS crisis, the world +arms race: they affect us all. Today as an old order passes, the new world +is more free, but less stable. Communism's collapse has called forth old +animosities, and new dangers. Clearly, America must continue to lead the +world we did so much to make. While America rebuilds at home, we will not +shrink from the challenges nor fail to seize the opportunities of this new +world. Together with our friends and allies, we will work together to shape +change, lest it engulf us. When our vital interests are challenged, or the +will and conscience of the international community is defied, we will act; +with peaceful diplomacy whenever possible, with force when necessary. The +brave Americans serving our nation today in the Persian Gulf, in Somalia, +and wherever else they stand, are testament to our resolve, but our +greatest strength is the power of our ideas, which are still new in many +lands. Across the world, we see them embraced and we rejoice. Our hopes, +our hearts, our hands, are with those on every continent, who are building +democracy and freedom. Their cause is America's cause. The American people +have summoned the change we celebrate today. You have raised your voices in +an unmistakable chorus, you have cast your votes in historic numbers, you +have changed the face of congress, the presidency, and the political +process itself. Yes, YOU, my fellow Americans, have forced the spring. Now +WE must do the work the season demands. To that work I now turn with ALL +the authority of my office. I ask the congress to join with me; but no +president, no congress, no government can undertake THIS mission alone. + +My fellow Americans, you, too, must play your part in our renewal. +I challenge a new generation of YOUNG Americans to a season of service, +to act on your idealism, by helping troubled children, keeping company +with those in need, reconnecting our torn communities. There is so much +to be done. Enough, indeed, for millions of others who are still young +in spirit, to give of themselves in service, too. In serving we recognize +a simple, but powerful, truth: we need each other, and we must care for +one another. Today we do more than celebrate America, we rededicate +ourselves to the very idea of America, an idea born in revolution, +and renewed through two centuries of challenge, an idea tempered by +the knowledge that but for fate, we, the fortunate and the unfortunate, +might have been each other; an idea ennobled by the faith that our nation +can summon from its myriad diversity, the deepest measure of unity; +an idea infused with the conviction that America's journey long, heroic +journey must go forever upward. + +And so, my fellow Americans, as we stand at the edge of the 21st Century, +let us begin anew, with energy and hope, with faith and discipline, and let +us work until our work is done. The Scripture says: "And let us not be +weary in well-doing, for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not." +From this joyful mountaintop of celebration we hear a call to service in +the valley. We have heard the trumpets, we have changed the guard, and now +each in our own way, and with God's help, we must answer the call. + +Thank you, and God bless you all. + + + + + + + + +End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of Inaugural Presidential Address +by William Jefferson Clinton + +*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK INAUGURAL PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS *** + +***** This file should be named 10510.txt or 10510.zip ***** +This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: + http://www.gutenberg.net/1/0/5/1/10510/ + +Produced by + +Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions +will be renamed. + +Creating the works from public domain print editions means that no +one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation +(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without +permission and without paying copyright royalties.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit http://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + +Each eBook is in a subdirectory of the same number as the eBook's +eBook number, often in several formats including plain vanilla ASCII, +compressed (zipped), HTML and others. + +Corrected EDITIONS of our eBooks replace the old file and take over +the old filename and etext number. The replaced older file is renamed. +VERSIONS based on separate sources are treated as new eBooks receiving +new filenames and etext numbers. + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + http://www.gutenberg.net + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + +EBooks posted prior to November 2003, with eBook numbers BELOW #10000, +are filed in directories based on their release date. If you want to +download any of these eBooks directly, rather than using the regular +search system you may utilize the following addresses and just +download by the etext year. For example: + + http://www.gutenberg.net/etext06 + + (Or /etext 05, 04, 03, 02, 01, 00, 99, + 98, 97, 96, 95, 94, 93, 92, 92, 91 or 90) + +EBooks posted since November 2003, with etext numbers OVER #10000, are +filed in a different way. The year of a release date is no longer part +of the directory path. The path is based on the etext number (which is +identical to the filename). The path to the file is made up of single +digits corresponding to all but the last digit in the filename. For +example an eBook of filename 10234 would be found at: + + http://www.gutenberg.net/1/0/2/3/10234 + +or filename 24689 would be found at: + http://www.gutenberg.net/2/4/6/8/24689 + +An alternative method of locating eBooks: + http://www.gutenberg.net/GUTINDEX.ALL + + diff --git a/old/old/20031220.10510.zip b/old/old/20031220.10510.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..390e681 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/old/20031220.10510.zip diff --git a/old/old/clinton1.txt b/old/old/clinton1.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..e91429e --- /dev/null +++ b/old/old/clinton1.txt @@ -0,0 +1,397 @@ +**The Project Gutenberg Etext of Clinton's Inaugural Address.** +****This file should be named clinton1.txt, or clinton1.zip**** + +Corrected EDITIONS of our etexts get a new NUMBER, clinton2.txt. +VERSIONS based on separate sources get new LETTER, clintona.txt. + +Information about Project Gutenberg (one page) + +We produce about one million dollars for each hour we work.

A spring reborn in +the world's oldest democracy, that brings forth the vision and courage +to reinvent America. When our founders boldly declared America's independence +to the world, and our purposes to the Almighty, they knew that America, +to endure, would have to change. Not change for change sake, but change +to preserve America's ideals: life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness. + +Though we march to the music of our time, our mission is timeless. +Each generation of American's must define what it means to be an American. +On behalf of our nation, I salute my predecessor, President Bush, for his +half-century of service to America. . .and I thank the millions of men +and women whose steadfastness and sacrifice triumphed over depression, +fascism and communism. + +Today, a generation raised in the shadows of the Cold War assumes new +responsibilities in a world warmed by the sunshine of freedom, but threatened +still by ancient hatreds and new plagues. Raised in unrivalled prosperity, +we inherit an economy that is still the world's strongest, but is weakened by +business failures, stagnant wages, increasing inequality, and deep divisions +among OUR OWN people. + +When George Washington first took the oath I have just sworn to uphold, news +travelled slowly across the land by horseback, and across the ocean by boat. +Now the sights and sounds of this ceremony are broadcast instantaneously to +billions around the world. Communications and commerce are global. +Investment is mobile. Technology is almost magical, and ambition for +a better life is now universal. + +We earn our livelihood in America today in peaceful competition with people +all across the Earth. Profound and powerful forces are shaking and remaking +our world, and the URGENT question of our time is whether we can make change +our friend and not our enemy. This new world has already enriched the lives +of MILLIONS of Americans who are able to compete and win in it. But when +most people are working harder for less, when others cannot work at all, +when the cost of health care devastates families and threatens to bankrupt +our enterprises, great and small; when the fear of crime robs law abiding +citizens of their freedom; and when millions of poor children cannot +even imagine the lives we are calling them to lead, we have not made +change our friend. + +We know we have to face hard truths and take strong steps, +but we have not done so. Instead we have drifted, and that +drifting has eroded our resources, fractured our economy, +and shaken our confidence. Though our challenges are fearsome, +so are our strengths. Americans have ever been a restless, questing, +hopeful people, and we must bring to our task today the vision +and will of those who came before us. From our Revolution to the +Civil War, to the Great Depression, to the Civil Rights movement, +our people have always mustered the determination to construct from +these crises the pillars of our history. Thomas Jefferson believed +that to preserve the very foundations of our nation we would need +dramatic change from time to time. Well, my fellow Americans, +this is OUR time. Let us embrace it. + +Our democracy must be not only the envy of the world but the engine of +our OWN renewal. There is nothing WRONG with America that cannot be cured +by what is RIGHT with America. + +And so today we pledge an end to the era of deadlock and drift, +and a new season of American renewal has begun. + +To renew America we must be bold. We must do what no generation +has had to do before. We must invest more in our own people, +in their jobs, and in their future, and at the same time cut +our massive debt. . .and we must do so in a world in which +we must compete for every opportunity. It will not be easy. +It will require sacrifice, but it can be done, and done fairly. +Not choosing sacrifice for its own sake, but for OUR own sake. +We must provide for our nation the way a family provides for its +children. Our founders saw themselves in the light of posterity. +We can do no less. Anyone who has ever watched a child's eyes +wander into sleep knows what posterity is. Posterity is the world +to come, the world for whom hold our ideals, from whom we have +borrowed our planet, and to whom we bear sacred responsibilities. +We must do what America does best, offer more opportunity TO all +and demand more responsibility FROM all. + +It is time to break the bad habit of expecting something for nothing: +from our government, or from each other. Let us all take more +responsibility, not only for ourselves and our families, but for our +communities and our country. To renew America we must revitalize +our democracy. This beautiful capitol, like every capitol since +the dawn of civilization, is often a place of intrigue and calculation. +Powerful people maneuver for position and worry endlessly about who is +IN and who is OUT, who is UP and who is DOWN, forgetting those people +whose toil and sweat sends us here and paves our way. + +Americans deserve better, and in this city today there are people +who want to do better, and so I say to all of you here, let us resolve +to reform our politics, so that power and privilege no longer shout down +the voice of the people. Let us put aside personal advantage, so that we +can feel the pain and see the promise of America. Let us resolve to make +our government a place for what Franklin Roosevelt called "bold, persistent +experimentation, a government for our tomorrows, not our yesterdays." +Let us give this capitol back to the people to whom it belongs. + +To the new America we must meet challenges abroad, as well as at home. +There is no longer a clear division between what is foreign and what is +domestic. The world economy, the world environment, the world AIDS crisis, +the world arms race: they affect us all. Today as an old order passes, the +new world is more free, but less stable. Communism's collapse has called forth +old animosities, and new dangers. Clearly, America must continue to lead the +world did so much to make. While America rebuilds at home, we will not shrink +from the challenges nor fail to seize the opportunities of this new world. +Together with our friends and allies, we will work together to shape change, +lest it engulf us. When our vital interests are challenged, or the will and +conscience of the international community is defied, we will act; with peaceful +diplomacy whenever possible, with force when necessary. The brave Americans +serving our nation today in the Persian Gulf, in Somalia, and wherever else +they stand are testament to our resolve, but our greatest strength is the +power of our ideas, which are still new in many lands. Across the world, +we see them embraced and we rejoice. Our hopes, our hearts, our hands, +are with those on every continent, who are building democracy and freedom. +Their cause is America's cause. The American people have summoned the change +we celebrate today. You have raised your voices in an unmistakable chorus, +you have cast your votes in historic numbers, you have changed the face of +congress, the presidency, and the political process itself. Yes, YOU, my +fellow Americans, have forced the spring. Now WE must do the work the +season demands. To that work I now turn with ALL the authority of my office. +I ask the congress to join with me; but no president, no congress, +no government can accomplish THIS mission alone. + +My fellow Americans, you, too, must play your part in our renewal. +I challenge a new generation of YOUNG Americans to a season of service, +to act on your idealism, by helping troubled children, keeping company +with those in need, reconnecting our torn community. There is so much +to be done. Enough, indeed, for millions of others who are still young +in spirit, to give of themselves in service, too. In serving we recognize +a simple, but powerful, truth: we need each other, and we must care for +one another. Today we do more than celebrate America, we rededicate +ourselves to the very idea of America, an idea born in revolution, +and renewed through two centuries of challenge, an idea tempered by +the knowledge that but for fate, we, the fortunate and the unfortunate, +might have been each other; an idea ennobled by the faith that our nation +can summon from its myriad diversity, the deepest measure of unity; +an idea infused with the conviction that America's journey long, heroic +journey must go forever upward. + +And so, my fellow Americans, as we stand at the edge of the 21st Century, +let us begin anew, with energy and hope, with faith and discipline, +and let us work until our work is done. The Scripture says: "And let us +not be weary in well-doing, for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not." +From this joyful mountaintop of celebration we hear a call to service in +the valley. We have heard the trumpet, we have changed the guard, +and now each in our own way, and with God's help, we must answer the call. + +Thank you, and God bless you all. + +End of the Project Gutenberg Etext of Bill Clinton's Inaugural Address + + + diff --git a/old/old/clinton2.txt b/old/old/clinton2.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..f973245 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/old/clinton2.txt @@ -0,0 +1,405 @@ +**The Project Gutenberg Etext of Clinton's Inaugural Address.** +****This file should be named clinton2.txt, or clinton2.zip**** + +Corrected EDITIONS of our etexts get a new NUMBER, clinton2.txt. +VERSIONS based on separate sources get new LETTER, clintona.txt. + +Corrections is this edition: missing "we" entered, "undertake" +replaced "accomplish," a comma entered, "community" is replaced +by "communities," "to the new" changed to "to renew," "trumpet" +changed to "trumpets," + + +Information about Project Gutenberg (one page) + +We produce about one million dollars for each hour we work.

A spring reborn in +the world's oldest democracy, that brings forth the vision and courage +to reinvent America. When our founders boldly declared America's independence +to the world, and our purposes to the Almighty, they knew that America, +to endure, would have to change. Not change for change sake, but change +to preserve America's ideals: life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness. + +Though we march to the music of our time, our mission is timeless. +Each generation of American's must define what it means to be an American. +On behalf of our nation, I salute my predecessor, President Bush, for his +half-century of service to America. . .and I thank the millions of men +and women whose steadfastness and sacrifice triumphed over depression, +fascism and communism. + +Today, a generation raised in the shadows of the Cold War assumes new +responsibilities in a world warmed by the sunshine of freedom, but threatened +still by ancient hatreds and new plagues. Raised in unrivalled prosperity, +we inherit an economy that is still the world's strongest, but is weakened by +business failures, stagnant wages, increasing inequality, and deep divisions +among OUR OWN people. + +When George Washington first took the oath I have just sworn to uphold, news +travelled slowly across the land by horseback, and across the ocean by boat. +Now the sights and sounds of this ceremony are broadcast instantaneously to +billions around the world. Communications and commerce are global. +Investment is mobile. Technology is almost magical, and ambition for +a better life is now universal. + +We earn our livelihood in America today in peaceful competition with people +all across the Earth. Profound and powerful forces are shaking and remaking +our world, and the URGENT question of our time is whether we can make change +our friend and not our enemy. This new world has already enriched the lives +of MILLIONS of Americans who are able to compete and win in it. But when +most people are working harder for less, when others cannot work at all, +when the cost of health care devastates families and threatens to bankrupt +our enterprises, great and small; when the fear of crime robs law abiding +citizens of their freedom; and when millions of poor children cannot +even imagine the lives we are calling them to lead, we have not made +change our friend. + +We know we have to face hard truths and take strong steps, +but we have not done so. Instead we have drifted, and that +drifting has eroded our resources, fractured our economy, +and shaken our confidence. Though our challenges are fearsome, +so are our strengths. Americans have ever been a restless, questing, +hopeful people, and we must bring to our task today the vision +and will of those who came before us. From our Revolution to the +Civil War, to the Great Depression, to the Civil Rights movement, +our people have always mustered the determination to construct from +these crises the pillars of our history. Thomas Jefferson believed +that to preserve the very foundations of our nation we would need +dramatic change from time to time. Well, my fellow Americans, +this is OUR time. Let us embrace it. + +Our democracy must be not only the envy of the world but the engine of +our OWN renewal. There is nothing WRONG with America that cannot be cured +by what is RIGHT with America. + +And so today we pledge an end to the era of deadlock and drift, +and a new season of American renewal has begun. + +To renew America we must be bold. We must do what no generation +has had to do before. We must invest more in our own people, +in their jobs, and in their future, and at the same time cut +our massive debt. . .and we must do so in a world in which +we must compete for every opportunity. It will not be easy. +It will require sacrifice, but it can be done, and done fairly. +Not choosing sacrifice for its own sake, but for OUR own sake. +We must provide for our nation the way a family provides for its +children. Our founders saw themselves in the light of posterity. +We can do no less. Anyone who has ever watched a child's eyes +wander into sleep knows what posterity is. Posterity is the world +to come, the world for whom we hold our ideals, from whom we have +borrowed our planet, and to whom we bear sacred responsibiliti*es. +We must do what America does best, offer more opportunity TO all +and demand more responsibility FROM all. + +It is time to break the bad habit of expecting something for nothing: +from our government, or from each other. Let us all take more +responsibility, not only for ourselves and our families, but for our +communities and our country. To renew America we must revitalize +our democracy. This beautiful capitol, like every capitol since +the dawn of civilization, is often a place of intrigue and calculation. +Powerful people maneuver for position and worry endlessly about who is +IN and who is OUT, who is UP and who is DOWN, forgetting those people +whose toil and sweat sends us here and paves our way. + +Americans deserve better, and in this city today there are people +who want to do better, and so I say to all of you here, let us resolve +to reform our politics, so that power and privilege no longer shout down +the voice of the people. Let us put aside personal advantage, so that we +can feel the pain and see the promise of America. Let us resolve to make +our government a place for what Franklin Roosevelt called "bold, persistent +experimentation, a government for our tomorrows, not our yesterdays." +Let us give this capitol back to the people to whom it belongs. + +To renew America we must meet challenges abroad, as well as at home. +There is no longer a clear division between what is foreign and what is +domestic. The world economy, the world environment, the world AIDS crisis, +the world arms race: they affect us all. Today as an old order passes, the new +world is more free, but less stable. Communism's collapse has called forth old +animosities, and new dangers. Clearly, America must continue to lead the world +we did so much to make. While America rebuilds at home, we will not shrink +from the challenges nor fail to seize the opportunities of this new world. +Together with our friends and allies, we will work together to shape change, +lest it engulf us. When our vital interests are challenged, or the will and +conscience of the international community is defied, we will act; with peaceful +diplomacy whenever possible, with force when necessary. The brave Americans +serving our nation today in the Persian Gulf, in Somalia, and wherever else +they stand, are testament to our resolve, but our greatest strength is the +power of our ideas, which are still new in many lands. Across the world, +we see them embraced and we rejoice. Our hopes, our hearts, our hands, +are with those on every continent, who are building democracy and freedom. +Their cause is America's cause. The American people have summoned the change +we celebrate today. You have raised your voices in an unmistakable chorus, +you have cast your votes in historic numbers, you have changed the face of +congress, the presidency, and the political process itself. Yes, YOU, my +fellow Americans, have forced the spring. Now WE must do the work the +season demands. To that work I now turn with ALL the authority of my office. +I ask the congress to join with me; but no president, no congress, +no government can undertake THIS mission alone. + +My fellow Americans, you, too, must play your part in our renewal. +I challenge a new generation of YOUNG Americans to a season of service, +to act on your idealism, by helping troubled children, keeping company +with those in need, reconnecting our torn communities. There is so much +to be done. Enough, indeed, for millions of others who are still young +in spirit, to give of themselves in service, too. In serving we recognize +a simple, but powerful, truth: we need each other, and we must care for +one another.

Raised in unrivalled prosperity, +we inherit an economy that is still the world's strongest, but is weakened by +business failures, stagnant wages, increasing inequality, and deep divisions +among OUR OWN people. + +When George Washington first took the oath I have just sworn to uphold, news +travelled slowly across the land by horseback, and across the ocean by boat. +Now the sights and sounds of this ceremony are broadcast instantaneously to +billions around the world. Communications and commerce are global. +Investment is mobile. Technology is almost magical, and ambition for +a better life is now universal. + +We earn our livelihood in America today in peaceful competition with people +all across the Earth. Profound and powerful forces are shaking and remaking +our world, and the URGENT question of our time is whether we can make change +our friend and not our enemy. This new world has already enriched the lives +of MILLIONS of Americans who are able to compete and win in it. But when +most people are working harder for less, when others cannot work at all, +when the cost of health care devastates families and threatens to bankrupt +our enterprises, great and small; when the fear of crime robs law abiding +citizens of their freedom; and when millions of poor children cannot +even imagine the lives we are calling them to lead, we have not made +change our friend. + +We know we have to face hard truths and take strong steps, +but we have not done so. Instead we have drifted, and that +drifting has eroded our resources, fractured our economy, +and shaken our confidence. Though our challenges are fearsome, +so are our strengths. Americans have ever been a restless, questing, +hopeful people, and we must bring to our task today the vision +and will of those who came before us. From our Revolution to the +Civil War, to the Great Depression, to the Civil Rights movement, +our people have always mustered the determination to construct from +these crises the pillars of our history. Thomas Jefferson believed +that to preserve the very foundations of our nation we would need +dramatic change from time to time. Well, my fellow Americans, +this is OUR time. Let us embrace it. + +Our democracy must be not only the envy of the world but the engine of +our OWN renewal. There is nothing WRONG with America that cannot be cured +by what is RIGHT with America. + +And so today we pledge an end to the era of deadlock and drift, +and a new season of American renewal has begun. + +To renew America we must be bold. We must do what no generation +has had to do before. We must invest more in our own people, +in their jobs, and in their future, and at the same time cut +our massive debt. . .and we must do so in a world in which +we must compete for every opportunity. It will not be easy. +It will require sacrifice, but it can be done, and done fairly. +Not choosing sacrifice for its own sake, but for OUR own sake. +We must provide for our nation the way a family provides for its +children. Our founders saw themselves in the light of posterity. +We can do no less. Anyone who has ever watched a child's eyes +wander into sleep knows what posterity is. Posterity is the world +to come, the world for whom we hold our ideals, from whom we have +borrowed our planet, and to whom we bear sacred responsibilities. +We must do what America does best, offer more opportunity TO all +and demand more responsibility FROM all. + +It is time to break the bad habit of expecting something for nothing: +from our government, or from each other. Let us all take more +responsibility, not only for ourselves and our families, but for our +communities and our country. To renew America we must revitalize +our democracy. This beautiful capitol, like every capitol since +the dawn of civilization, is often a place of intrigue and calculation. +Powerful people maneuver for position and worry endlessly about who is +IN and who is OUT, who is UP and who is DOWN, forgetting those people +whose toil and sweat sends us here and paves our way. + +Americans deserve better, and in this city today there are people +who want to do better, and so I say to all of you here, let us resolve +to reform our politics, so that power and privilege no longer shout down +the voice of the people. Let us put aside personal advantage, so that we +can feel the pain and see the promise of America. Let us resolve to make +our government a place for what Franklin Roosevelt called "bold, persistent +experimentation, a government for our tomorrows, not our yesterdays." +Let us give this capitol back to the people to whom it belongs. + +To renew America we must meet challenges abroad, as well as at home. +There is no longer a clear division between what is foreign and what is +domestic. The world economy, the world environment, the world AIDS crisis, +the world arms race: they affect us all. Today as an old order passes, the new +world is more free, but less stable. Communism's collapse has called forth old +animosities, and new dangers. Clearly, America must continue to lead the world +we did so much to make. While America rebuilds at home, we will not shrink +from the challenges nor fail to seize the opportunities of this new world. +Together with our friends and allies, we will work together to shape change, +lest it engulf us. When our vital interests are challenged, or the will and +conscience of the international community is defied, we will act; with peaceful +diplomacy whenever possible, with force when necessary. The brave Americans +serving our nation today in the Persian Gulf, in Somalia, and wherever else +they stand, are testament to our resolve, but our greatest strength is the +power of our ideas, which are still new in many lands. Across the world, +we see them embraced and we rejoice. Our hopes, our hearts, our hands, +are with those on every continent, who are building democracy and freedom. +Their cause is America's cause. The American people have summoned the change +we celebrate today. You have raised your voices in an unmistakable chorus, +you have cast your votes in historic numbers, you have changed the face of +congress, the presidency, and the political process itself. Yes, YOU, my +fellow Americans, have forced the spring. Now WE must do the work the +season demands. To that work I now turn with ALL the authority of my office. +I ask the congress to join with me; but no president, no congress, +no government can undertake THIS mission alone. + +My fellow Americans, you, too, must play your part in our renewal. +I challenge a new generation of YOUNG Americans to a season of service, +to act on your idealism, by helping troubled children, keeping company +with those in need, reconnecting our torn communities. There is so much +to be done. Enough, indeed, for millions of others who are still young +in spirit, to give of themselves in service, too. In serving we recognize +a simple, but powerful, truth: we need each other, and we must care for +one another. Today we do more than celebrate America, we rededicate +ourselves to the very idea of America, an idea born in revolution, +and renewed through two centuries of challenge, an idea tempered by +the knowledge that but for fate, we, the fortunate and the unfortunate, +might have been each other; an idea ennobled by the faith that our nation +can summon from its myriad diversity, the deepest measure of unity; +an idea infused with the conviction that America's journey long, heroic +journey must go forever upward. + +And so, my fellow Americans, as we stand at the edge of the 21st Century, +let us begin anew, with energy and hope, with faith and discipline, +and let us work until our work is done. The Scripture says: "And let us +not be weary in well-doing, for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not." +From this joyful mountaintop of celebration we hear a call to service in +the valley. We have heard the trumpets, we have changed the guard, +and now each in our own way, and with God's help, we must answer the call. + +Thank you, and God bless you all. + + +End of the Project Gutenberg Etext of Bill Clinton's Inaugural Address + + + |
