The coddled, the weak, the doubting

will fall.

But the men will survive.

And great will be the honor they shall win.

You graduates must be such men.

Men of Boys Town.

You must realize

that the inheritance of your generation...

is toil and sweat and sorrow.

But you must also know...

that out of the bitterest battle,

the sweetest victory is won.

I envy you the glory

of solving the problems you will meet...

for the tasks of youth today...

are tasks for giants.

But the time that awaits you...

is the time...

when giants will walk again in the land.

Be staunch...

keep the faith...

and you...

will walk among the giants.

God bless you.
