More quotes by Robert Kennedy
I now know how Tojo felt when he was planning Pearl Harbor.
Robert Kennedy
You're happiest while you're making the greatest contribution.
Robert Kennedy

Robert Kennedy
I dream of things that are not and ask why not.
Robert Kennedy
After all, a bank without assets is hardly a bank at all.
Robert Kennedy
Democracy is no easy form of government. Few nations have been able to sustain it. For it requires that we take the chances of freedom that the liberating play of reason be brought to bear on events filled with passion that dissent be allowed to make its appeal for acceptance that men chance error in their search for the truth.
Robert Kennedy
Every dictatorship has ultimately strangled in the web of repression it wove for its people, making mistakes that could not be corrected because criticism was prohibited.
Robert Kennedy
Nations around the world look to us for the leadership not merely by strength of arms but by strength of our convictions.
Robert Kennedy
If you never quit, youll never fail.
Robert Kennedy
People say I am ruthless. I am not ruthless. And if I find the man who is calling me ruthless, I shall destroy him.
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
Men without hope, resigned to despair and oppression, do not make revolutions. It is when expectation replaces submission, when despair is touched with the awareness of possibility, that the forces of human desire and the passion for justice are unloosed.
Robert Kennedy
I thought they'd get one of us, but Jack, after all he's been through, never worried about it I thought it would be me.
Robert Kennedy
Every society gets the kind of criminal it deserves.
Robert Kennedy
It is immoral to see evil and not act on it.
Robert Kennedy
I believe that, as long as there is plenty, poverty is evil.
Robert Kennedy
Now I can go back to being ruthless again.
Robert Kennedy
We can master change not though force or fear, but only though the free work of an understanding mind, though an openness to new knowledge and fresh outlooks, which can only strengthen the most fragile and most powerful of human gifts: the gift of reason.
Robert Kennedy
But suppose God is black? What if we go to Heaven and we, all our lives, have treated the Negro as an inferior, and God is there, and we look up and He is not white? What then is our response?
Robert Kennedy
I love this city. If I am elected, I'll move the White House to San Francisco. Everybody's so friendly.
Robert Kennedy
