Though 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.   --Alfred, Lord Tennyson https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Alfred,_Lord_Tennyson
