Robert Kennedy
You're happiest while you're making the greatest contribution.
Robert Kennedy
It is immoral to see evil and not act on it.
Robert Kennedy
Punishment is not prevention. History offers cold comfort to those who think grievance and despair can be subdued by force.
Robert Kennedy
[The overthrow of the Castro regime] is the top priority of the US government. - all else is secondary - no time, no effort, or manpower is to be spared.
