Bernard Lown speech (6 Jun 2009)

From ProCOR:
The following is excerpted from the Commencement Address delivered by Bernard Lown, MD, to the University of New England College of Osteopathic Medicine graduates on 6 June 2009 in Portland, Maine, USA. Read the full speech on Dr. Lown's website: http://bernardlown.wordpress.com.
...words of the Afro-American poet Langston Hughes:

"Hold on to dreams
For if dreams die,
Life is a broken winged bird
And cannot fly."

The most important dream is that human beings someday will deserve the name human. So I urge you not to stop the climb. An aching patient craves your healing touch. A troubled world awaits your intelligent embrace.
