Lula came from a dirt poor region of Brazil.
This is the end of his inaugural speech.


God has been generous to me; more than I deserve.
I asked for strength. God gave me difficulties to make me strong.
I asked for wisdom. God gave me problems to solve.
I asked for prosperity. God gave me brains and muscles to work.
I asked for courage. God gave me dangers to overcome.
I asked for love. God gave me people in difficulty to help.
I asked for blessings. God gave me opportunities.
I received nothing that I asked for, but I received all that I needed.
