Those are the words engraved on a cigarette box John F. Kennedy gave to his younger brother Ted Kennedy in 1961. Looking back now there was a lot of truth to that quote.
Due to the fact that my father is a former New Englander, the Kennedy’s were popular in our household. My father taught me lessons about overcoming life’s obstacles. I think Ted had a few hurdles of his own. With the untimely passing of his three older brothers, Ted took it upon himself to carry on the vision of creating an equal and fair society.
Yes, Ted Kennedy made a few mistakes in his lifetime, but I believe in the end his work for the poor, sick, and underprivileged has proven to his greatest legacy.
He will be missed.
