"For all my years in public life, I have believed that America must sail toward the shores of liberty and justice for all. There is no end to that journey, only the next great voyage. We know the future will outlast all of us, but I believe that all of us will live on in the future we make."

I couldn't remember exactly when that happened, but we have suffered without him ever since.
One of the greatest Senators in the history of this country.
