As we celebrate Independence Day in the US,
let's remember:

"The essence of America- -
that which really unites us- -
is not ethnicity or
national;ity
or religion.
It is an idea- -
and what an idea it is:
that you can come from
humble circumstances
and do great things.

That it doesn't matter
where you come from,
but where you are going."

- -Condoleeza Rice
