　　美国第十一任总统詹姆斯•诺克斯•波尔克就职演说

　　Without solicitation on my part, I have been chosen by the free, and voluntary suffrages of my countrymen to the most honorable, and most responsible office on earth. I am deeply impressed with gratitude for the confidence reposed in me. Honored with his distinguished consideration at an earlier period of life than any of my predecessors, I can not disguise the diffidence with which I am about to enter on the discharge of my official duties. In assuming responsibilities so vast I fervently invoke the aid of that Almighty Ruler of the Universe in whose hands are the destinies of nations, and of men to guard this Heaven favored land against the mischief which without His guidance might arise from an unwise public policy. With a firm reliance upon the wisdom of Omnipotence to sustain and direct me in the path of duty which I am appointed to pursue, I stand in the presence of this assembled multitude of my countrymen to take upon myself the solemn obligation "to take best of my ability to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States."
