Tā nebija nogurusi un vāja tauta, kas pirms jau vairāk kā simts gadiem iekaroja savas Tēvzemes neatkarību. Tā nebija nogurusi un vāja tauta, kas divdesmitā gadsimta beigās to no jauna izcīnīja. Tie nebija nogurši un vāji ļaudis, kuri uzcēla Rīgu, atklāja Tobago un gadu simtiem radīja kuplas saimes... Tādi ļaudis- nogurušie un vājie- nav un nemūžam nebūs tie, kuri uzveic ļauno un stiprina labo.
Tadēļ, Latvieti, esi modrs un stiprs, un esi tāds visā, ko dari. Vai domnieks, vai zemnieks, vai strādnieks, vai karavīrs: jābūt Tev ir modram un stipram, lai katrs Tēvijas nostūris nes godu, un lai mūsu mazbērniem ir mantojums ar ko lepoties. Tauta var būt liela un stipra vien tad, ja visi tai piederošie ir lieli un stipri.
