Robert Kennedy
If you never quit, youll never fail.

Robert Kennedy
The gross national product includes air pollution and advertising for cigarettes, and ambulances to clear our highways of carnage.

Goethe tells us in his greatest poem that Faust lost the liberty of his soul when he said to the passing moment, 'Stay, thou art so fair.
Robert Kennedy
Democracy is no easy form of government. Few nations have been able to sustain it.

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
The Gross National Product measures everything except that which makes life worthwhile.
Robert Kennedy

Robert Kennedy
