The speaker is celebrating freedom and emphasizing the importance of renewal and change. They mention that despite the world being different now, the same beliefs in the rights of man are still significant globally. These beliefs state that human rights come from God, not the state. We observe today not a victory of party, but a celebration of freedom, symbolizing an end as well as a beginning, signifying renewal as well as change. For I have sworn before you, O Almighty God, the same solemn oath our forebears prescribed nearly a century and three quarters ago. The world is very different now, for man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty and all forms of human life. And yet, the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forebears fought are still the issue around the globe. The belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state, but from the hand of God.
