"It is my right to be uncommon. I do not wish to be a kept citizen, humbled and dulled by having the state look after me. I want to take the calculated risk to dream and to build, to fail and to succeed. I refuse to barter incentive for a dole. I prefer the challenges of life to the guaranteed existence the thrill of fulfillment to the stole calm of utopia. I will not trade freedom for beneficence nor my dignity for a handout. It is my heritage to stand erect, proud, and unafraid to think and act for myself enjoy the benefits of my creations and to face the world boldly and say: With god’s help, this I have done."
