"The work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives, and the dream shall never die." 

– Senator Edward M. Kennedy - August 12, 1980 

This quote is taken from Kennedy's famous 1980 speech after he lost the Democratic nomination for president to incumbent President Jimmy Carter (who went on to lose the election to Republican Ronald Reagan). Read Kennedy's complete speech here. It is considered the finest of his career, an eloquent defense of the liberal ideals championed by Franklin D. Roosevelt and especially by his late brothers, President John F. Kennedy and Robert, a presidential candidate in 1968.

Write, inspired by Kennedy's words.
