It's from Tennyson's Ulysses:<br/><br/>Tho' much is taken, much abides<br/>And tho' we are not now that strength<br/>Which in old days moved Earth and Heaven<br/>That which we are we are<br/>One equal temper of heroic hearts<br/>Made weak by time and fate, yet strong in will<br/>To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield!<br/><br/>Thanks and best wishes, - Steve
