My fellow-citizens, no people on earth have more cause to be thankful than ours, and this is said reverently, in no spirit of bo

astfulness in our own strength, but with gratitude to the Giver of Good who has blessed us with the conditions which have enabled us to achieve so large a measure of well-being and of happiness. To us as a people it has been granted to lay the foundations of our national life in a new continent. We are the heirs of the ages, and yet we have had to pay few of the penalties which in old countries are exacted by the dead hand of a bygone civilization. We have not been obliged to fight for our existence against any alien race; and yet our life has called for the vigor and effort without which the manlier and hardier virtues wither away. Under such conditions it would be our own fault if we failed; and the success which we have had in the past, the success which we confidently believe the future will bring, should cause in us no feeling of [vanity], but rather a deep and abiding realization of all which life has offered us; a full acknowledgment of the responsibility which is ours; and a fixed determination to show that under a free government a mighty people can thrive best, alike as regards the things of the body and the things of the soul.
Much has been given us, and much will rightfully be expected from us. We have duties to others and duties to ourselves; and we can shirk neither. We have become a great nation, forced by the fact of its greatness into relations with the other nations of the earth, and we must behave as beseems a people with such responsibilities. Toward all other nations, large and small, our attitude must be one of cordial and sincere friendship. We must show not only in our words, but in our deeds, that we are earnestly desirous of securing their good will by acting toward them in a spirit of just and generous recognition of all their rights. But justice and generosity in a nation, as in an individual, count most when shown not by the weak but by the strong. While ever careful to refrain from wrongdoing others, we must be no less insistent that we are not wronged ourselves. We wish peace, but we wish the peace of justice, the peace of righteousness. We wish it because we think it is right and not because we are afraid. No weak nation that acts manfully and justly should ever have cause to fear us, and no strong power should ever be able to single us out as a subject for insolent aggression.

Which line from the text explains the author's point about responsibility in the second paragraph?

We have justice and righteousness on our side and so will always be just.
We are bound, because of our greatness, to recognize the rights of others.
We are strong enough to pursue acts of insolent aggression against others.
We have become, as a growing nation, strong enough to dominate others.

What is the cardio plate hooked up to?
MrRa [10]

Answer:

Cardio plates are not hooked up to anything because you have control over them and to use them you have to stand straight with your feet at shoulder width distance, shoulders back, and two five-pound plates pressed against one another at chest height. Inhale, then press the plates directly out in front of you. When your elbows are fully extended, squeeze through your chest, lift up slightly, and pause.
