"Im not running for president because I think Im blessed with such personal greatness that history has anointed me to save our country in its hour of need. My country saved me. My country saved me, and I cannot forget it. And I will fight for her for as long as I draw breath, so help me God.
If you find faults with our country, make it a better one. If youre disappointed with the mistakes of government, join its ranks and work to correct them. Enlist in our Armed Forces. Become a teacher. Enter the ministry. Run for public office. Feed a hungry child. Teach an illiterate adult to read. Comfort the afflicted. Defend the rights of the oppressed. Our country will be the better, and you will be the happier. Because nothing brings greater happiness in life than to serve a cause greater than yourself.
Im going to fight for my cause every day as your President. Im going to fight to make sure every American has every reason to thank God, as I thank Him: that Im an American, a proud citizen of the greatest country on earth, and with hard work, strong faith and a little courage, great things are always within our reach. Fight with me. Fight with me.
Fight for whats right for our country.
Fight for the ideals and character of a free people.
Fight for our childrens future.
Fight for justice and opportunity for all.
Stand up to defend our country from its enemies.
Stand up for each other; for beautiful, blessed, bountiful America.
Stand up, stand up, stand up and fight. Nothing is inevitable here. Were Americans, and we never give up. We never quit. We never hide from history. We make history.
Thank you, and God Bless you. "
- John McCain, nominating acceptance speech, September 4, 2008.

How I love those words. How I felt hearing them the first time, realizing that he was giving us the speech Bob Craner gave him... I hope to never forget their impact.
