Robert Kennedy Quotes

It is from the numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is shaped. Each time a man stands up for an ideal or acts to improve the lot of others or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance Picture Quote #1

It is not more bigness that should be our goal. We must attempt, rather, to bring people back to... the warmth of community, to the worth of individual effort and responsibility... and of individuals working together as a community, to better their lives and their children’s future Picture Quote #1

... if we want to meet the obligations of our civilization and our culture which are to create communities for our children that provide them with the same opportunities for dignity and enrichment as the communities that our parents gave us, we’ve got to start by protecting that infrastructure; the air that we breathe, the water that we drink, the landscapes that enrich us Picture Quote #1

The gross national product includes air pollution and advertising for cigarettes, and ambulances to clear our highways of carnage. It counts special locks for our doors, and jails for the people who break them... It does not allow for the health of our families, the quality of thier education, or the joy of their play Picture Quote #1

When there were periods of crisis, you stood beside him. When there were periods of happiness, you laughed with him. And when there were periods of sorrow, you comforted him Picture Quote #1

Some men see things as they are and say why. I dream things that never were and say, why not? Picture Quote #1

Robert Kennedy was such an inspiring figure. His interest in politics seemed to come not from a desire for power, but from a need to help our society live up to its ideals Picture Quote #1

They can gas me, but I am famous. I have achieved in one day what it took Robert Kennedy all his life to do Picture Quote #1
