Many readers have accepted the acclaimed last lines of "Ulysses" as inspirational. The poem's ending line has also been used as a motto by schools and other organisations. U.S. Senator Robert Francis Kennedy quoted the three last lines at the end of his speech "On the Mindless Menace of Violence" in America a day after the assassination of Martin Luther King. The final line is inscribed on a cross at Observation Hill, Antarctica, to commemorate explorer Robert Falcon Scott and his party, who died on their return trek from the South Pole in 1912:[49]
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in willTo strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield. (68–70)
-Ulysses, by Alfred Lord Tennyson, from Wikipedia.
