The babies who are being born at this moment in time

are joining a hungry and overcrowded human race,

a race responding to the challenge of the physical world,

a race aiming at artistic excellence,

a race striving to widen the frontiers of the mind,

a race reaching out beyond its own planet,

a race building for the world of tomorrow.
