Selfish people vs. citizens

The best thing Obama ever said:
[A] freedom which only asks what’s in it for me, a freedom without a commitment to others, a freedom without love or charity or duty or patriotism, is unworthy of our founding ideals, and those who died in their defense.... 
America is not about what can be done for us. It’s about what can be done by us, together, through the hard and frustrating but necessary work of self-government.
