Robert Kennedy
You're happiest while you're making the greatest contribution.
Robert Kennedy
Just because we cannot see clearly the end of the road, that is no reason for not setting out on the essential journey. On the contrary, great change dominates the world, and unless we move with change we will become its victims.
Robert Kennedy
