2:55:01
But she was a saint.
2:55:05
Now, however,
we look to the future.
2:55:10
I remember something, uh,
Theodore Roosevelt wrote...
2:55:14
...when his first wife died...
2:55:16
...in his twenties.
2:55:18
He thought the light
had gone from his life forever.
2:55:21
But he went on, and he
not only became president...
2:55:25
...but as an ex-president,
he served his country...
2:55:28
...always in the arena,
tempestuous, strong...
2:55:32
...sometimes right,
sometimes wrong.
2:55:34
But he was a man.
2:55:37
And as I leave...
2:55:39
...thas an example I think
all of us should remember.
2:55:43
See, we think sometimes
when, uh...
2:55:46
...things happen
that don't go the right way;
2:55:49
...we think that when someone
dear to us dies...
2:55:52
...uh, when we lose
an election...
2:55:55
...or when we suffer defeat...
2:55:57
...that all is ended.
2:55:59
Not true.
2:56:01
Is only a beginning,
always...
2:56:04
...because the greatness comes,
not when things go always good for you...
2:56:07
...but the greatness comes...
2:56:09
...when you're really tested...
2:56:11
...when you take some knocks,
some disappointments...
2:56:15
...when sadness comes.
2:56:17
Because only if you've been
in the deepest valley...
2:56:21
...can you ever know
how magnificent it is...
2:56:26
...to be on the highest mountain.
2:56:32
So I say to you on this occasion...
2:56:35
...we leave, proud of the people
who have stood by us...
2:56:38
...and worked for us and served
this government and this country.
2:56:43
They want you to continue
to serve in government...
2:56:46
...if that is what you wish.
2:56:48
Remember,
always give your best.
2:56:51
Never get discouraged.
2:56:53
Never be petty.
2:56:55
Always remember,
others may hate you.
2:56:59
But those who hate you
don't win unless you hate them.
