Washington's Farewell Address

Washington's Farewell Address - translated (or dumbed down, you decide) into everyday speech.

...
You’ve gotta be Americans before all else. You’re for the most part the same religion and culture, and you’ve got the same goals, and you’ve only got what you do because you all worked together.

But even though this sounds good, when it comes to crunch time it’s easy to forget that in favor of stuff that seems more immediately important than sticking together.
....

May God protect and guide these United States.  Amen.
