here's a quote from a great poem i suggest you read. i wrote two papers on it for the same class, and the power behind it didn't strike me until i read it for the umpteenth time. but i think it's great, so here ya go:
Tho' much is taken, much abides; and though
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
--Tennyson, "Ulysses"
