We chose to stoke that claimed rather than extinguish it. This is my challenge to you tonight, do not let history show that the torch went dark on our watch because we chose to repay lies with lies, to repay hatred with hatred for pettiness with pettiness.

Centuries ago a philosopher wrote, choice, not chance, determines your destiny. And this remains true for new jersey today. Our destiny is not set. It is the product of the choices we make. Our future is not set. It too is the product of the choices we make from this day forward. So let us choose wisely. Were sent here to act. Lets not fail to act. Lets create an attitude of choice. Let us choose to invest in better schools and not in the status quo in which we leave some children behind and put the rest at risk of being swallowed up by a rising tide of mediocrity and failure. Lets choose the path of safer streets. Lets not leave our families vulnerable to the heartless car jackers who would destroy our quality of life. Let us celebrate every life by creating an opportunity for every citizen through an excellent education, a productive job and a safe and thriving community. In this hour of choice, let us choose a better new jersey. [applause] you see, this is what we owe our citizens.
