Terry Sanford
You will hear some whisperings abroad saying that we have done enough, have moved well and far and rapidly, and so it is time now to slow down, rest, and catch our breath.These whispers come from the fearful and those who have always opposed the accomplishments from which they would now rest. This cannot be and is not the spirit of North Carolina.
Much remains to be done, to provide better educational opportunities for the competition our children will surely face, to encourage broader economic development so everybody will have a better chance to make a better living. Now is the time to move forward. Now is no time to loaf along.
