Strength can be abused. Wealth can corrupt. Intelligence can deceive. Honor can be hollow. A deeper, more enduring measure is needed — one that speaks not only to the worth of the individual, but also to the health of the community to which that individual belongs.

Superpower status is not a title bestowed by geography or sheer population. It is not the natural inheritance of a vast army or a swollen economy. It is the product of excellence—in thought, in industry, in culture, in contribution to the world.
