Some men see what is, and ask 'Why?' I see what might be, and ask 'Why Not?'
Robert Kennedy
Image
If freedom makes social progress possible, so social progress strengthens and enlarges freedom. The two are inseparable partners in the great adventure of humanity.
Robert Kennedy
Image
Few men are willing to brave the disapproval of their fellows, the censure of their colleagues, the wrath of their society. Moral courage is a rarer commodity than bravery in battle or great intelligence. Yet it is the one essential, vital quality for those who seek to change the world which yields most painfully to change.
Robert Kennedy
Image
Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly.
Robert Kennedy
Image
Few will have the greatness to bend history itself but each of us can work to change a small portion of events, and in the total of all those acts will be written the history of this generation.
Robert Kennedy
Image
Tragedy is a tool for the living to gain wisdom, not a guide by which to live.
Robert Kennedy

I dream of things that are not and ask why not.
