speeches: replace suspended unification.net drop-cap images with plain capitals

The illuminated initial-capital GIFs were hotlinked from www.unification.net,
which is now a suspended domain, so they rendered as broken images at the start
of paragraphs across 11 archived speeches. Each <img> carried the correct letter
in its alt attribute (and was the first letter of the word), so replacing the
tag with that letter restores the text with no broken image.

83 tags across 11 files; no remaining references to unification.net/images.

We all need to study Korean don&#8217;t we? (Yes.) Then please repeat after me: <em>Chamdoyn Yisangjuk Geejeeneun Uhdeenya? Where Is The Base For The True Ideal?</em></p>
<p>As we always try to practice our Korean, is there any non-Korean here who can read the title that Father has written here on the board? We all need to study Korean don&#8217;t we? (Yes.) Then please repeat after me: <em>Chamdoyn Yisangjuk Geejeeneun Uhdeenya? Where Is The Base For The True Ideal?</em></p>
<p>Do you understand the meaning of &#8220;ideal&#8221;? Does this word originate from mankind or from God? (God.) People in general talk about idealism, but they don&#8217;t think about the source of the ideal. They just assume that it comes from man. However, it has to come from God who is the source of true happiness, true peace, true ideal and the root of all goodness. Happiness, peace and unification all originate from God.</p>
<p>A tree might have different sized branches and leaves, but it has one central root. Cutting off some branches will not affect the root. This tree may have branches that go in different directions, and with the changing of the seasons its foliage may change and even die and fall to the ground. However, as long as the central trunk and root are alive, the tree will be fine. Nutrition travels through the root to feed every branch of the tree. However, beyond the root there is a mainstream energy source that feeds the root and trunk of the tree so that the tree is able to survive. This mainstream element has to be consistent; in the past, present and future the source of nutriment should always be the same. If the degree of this mainstream element of nutrition changes in any way, the actual species of the tree may even change.</p>
<p>We maintain that we have our own individual ideal, our own private ideal. However, can we honestly claim to have our own ideal? (No.) No matter how great you may be, you cannot claim to have your own ideal. We can only claim our ideal when we find our ideal partner. When man and woman are united and become one, then you can begin to speak of the ideal. For example, focusing upon one of your eyes, can it claim to be ideal? Can just one eye, either left or right, say this is ideal? But when both of your eyes are functioning properly, then you can maintain that you have ideal eyes and ideal vision. Whenever we refer to the ideal, it must always include our object and subject. Ideal is a relative term. Your nose has two nostrils, not one. If you block up one nostril and claim to have an ideal nose, you would not be speaking the truth. Suppose you had only one lip, upper or lower is irrelevant. With only one lip you cannot claim to have an ideal mouth. (Laughter.) Suppose the right ear says that it doesn&#8217;t care about the left ear? (Laughter.) The ideal exists within a subject and object relationship.</p>
