From time to time I will post great speeches from political life,mostly. Here is what may be my favorite speech of all time; Ted Kennedy delivering the eulogy of his brother, Bobby. The word that have always meant the most to me are -

"Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance."

I know I haven't and probably couldn't always maintain this perspective. But i feel, in just a few lines, he sums up why one should never give up.Just because the problems of the world are to big doesn't mean we lay down. If one does give up, parts of our being are just waiting to die. And I think Bobby Kennedy embodied this as much as anyone ever had. Goodnight.
