I don't believe our democracy, long range, is going to work unless there's an attitude in our society, and particularly among our young,

that they have an obligation of service.

Now, a principle of democracy is for every right there is a duty.

For every right of citizenship there is a duty of citizenship.

Now, we inherited this principle from the British, and the British, I believe, inherited it from Roman law.

Now, it seems to me that in the last decade we have put inordinate attention on rights

of citizenship.

Rights, rights, rights.

And in the process, we have neglected duties of citizenship.
