3. It's a fully noble sentiment.

Don't underestimate the resolve it will take to keep walking that path as the hard times begin to unfold.

The resolve it will take to keep walking it as your children, lovers, family, friends and neighbors, the poor, the sick and weak of a hundred nations begin to die around you. As they die from cold, hunger, thirst, disease and violence - first in the millions then in the tens and eventually the hundreds of millions - keep this pledge written on your heart. I promise you, this will be the hardest thing any of us has ever, or will ever, do. Do not try to do this alone.

Nobility has its price.
