More quotes by Robert Kennedy

Robert Kennedy
We know that if one man's rights are denied, the rights of all are endangered.
Robert Kennedy
I dream of things that are not and ask why not.

Robert Kennedy

Robert Kennedy
Nations around the world look to us for the leadership not merely by strength of arms but by strength of our convictions.

I love this city. If I am elected, I'll move the White House to San Francisco. Everybody's so friendly.
Robert Kennedy
Too much and too long, we seem to have surrendered community excellence and community values in the mere accumulation of material things.
Robert Kennedy
When you teach a man to hate and fear his brother, when you teach that he is a lesser man because of his color or his beliefs or the policies he pursues, when you teach that those who differ from you threaten your freedom or your job or your family, then you also learn to confront others not as fellow citizens but as enemies...
Robert Kennedy
The future is not a gift: it is an achievement. Every generation helps make its own future. This is the essential challenge of the present
Robert Kennedy
I believe that, as long as there is plenty, poverty is evil. Government belongs wherever evil needs an adversary and there are people in distress.
Robert Kennedy
If you never quit, youll never fail.
Robert Kennedy
Let us dedicate ourselves to what the Greeks wrote so many years ago: to tame the savageness of man and make gentle the life of this world.
Robert Kennedy
