And wake, no more to sin.”

And each shall find his brother fair,

All hearts of the earth shall find new birth
And wake, no more to sin.

I wake up with the news
of bloodshed.
I feel my body,
desperate to know whether

“There is a new America every morning when we wake up. It is upon us whether we will it or not.”

Adlai Stevenson (1900–1965) mid-20th-century Governor of Illinois and Ambassador to the UN

Presidential campaign address, Miami, Florida, (September 1956), as quoted in Best Quotes of '54, '55, '56 (1957) edited by James Beasley Simpson
Context: There is a new America every morning when we wake up. It is upon us whether we will it or not. The new America is the sum of many small changes — a new subdivision here, a new school there, a new industry where there had been swampland — changes that add up to a broad transformation of our lives. Our task is to guide these changes. For, though change is inevitable, change for the better is a full-time job.
