The Dream Shall Never Die

"... And may it be said of Us, both in dark passages and in bright days, in the words of Tennyson ... and that have special meaning for me now:

I am part of all that I have met

Tho' much is taken , much abides

That which we are, we are

One equal temper of heroic hearts

Strong in Will

To Strive, To Seek, To Find, and Not to Yield

For .. this came to an end... For .. the work goes on, the cause endures , the hope still lives, and the Dream Shall Never Die ... "

Sen.Edward M.Kennedy (D-Massachusets).Democratic Party Convention, New York, August 12th, 1980
