Explanation:

The second quotation is formatted wrongly and has been revised properly.

First of all, the sentence is grammatically incorrect and the word important was added before the quotation mark to make the quote have a better meaning.

Next, the quote was modified by omitting some unnecessary words which had no impact on the overall meaning of the sentence.  

. that this nation . . . was omitted.
