Quote context

[...]

- And that's where every John Doe comes in.

- It's up to him to get together with his team mate, and your team mate, my friends, is the guy next door to you. Your neighbor, he's a terribly important guy.

- You're gonna need him and he's gonna need you, so look him up. If he's sick, call on him. If he's hungry, feed him. If he's out of a job, find him one.

- To most of you, your neighbor is a stranger. A guy with a barking dog and a high fence around him.

- You can't be a stranger to any guy that's on your own team.

- So tear down the fence that separates you. Tear it down and you'll tear down a lot of hates and prejudices.

- Tear down all the fences in the country and you'll really have teamwork.

(applause in the hall) (5)

- Well, you're wrong. It's no miracle. It's no miracle... because I see it happen once a year and so do you, at Christmas time.
