I think it should be important

I think that it's--
it's important.

My father, Hyram Bell,
instilled in me a
sense of principles.

What I think
this country really needs,

it's that sense of--
of right and wrong.

And we're, uh, speaking of,

better with education,

to the children,

Well, they seemed
to be rather in a hurry.

that I had been right--

without surprises.

is not determined...
