More quotes by 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
I believe that in this generation those with the courage to enter the conflict will find themselves with companions in every corner of the world.
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
Some men see what is, and ask 'Why?' I see what might be, and ask 'Why Not?'
Robert Kennedy
Whenever men take the law into their own hands, the loser is the law. And when the law loses, freedom languishes.
Robert Kennedy
This much is clear: violence breeds violence, repression brings retaliation, and only a cleansing of our whole society can remove this sickness from our soul.
Robert Kennedy
Don't get mad, get even.
Robert Kennedy
The Gross National Product measures everything except that which makes life worthwhile.
Robert Kennedy
We in Government have begun to recognize the critical work which must be done at all levels-local, State and Federal-in ending the pollution of our waters.
Robert Kennedy
Now I can go back to being ruthless again.
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
Every society gets the kind of criminal it deserves. What is equally true is that every community gets the kind of law enforcement it insists on.
Robert Kennedy
It will help erase the idea that politics is a second-rate profession and a dirty business.
Robert Kennedy
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
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
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
But history will judge you, and as the years pass, you will ultimately judge yourself, in the extent to which you have used your gifts and talents to lighten and enrich the lives of your fellow men. In your hands lies the future of your world and the fulfillment of the best qualities of your own spirit.
Robert Kennedy
I run because I am convinced that this country is on a perilous course and I have such strong feelings about what must be done.
Robert Kennedy
Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly.
Robert Kennedy
It is not more bigness that should be our goal. We must attempt, rather, to bring people back to...the warmth of community, to the worth of individual effort and responsibility...and of individuals working together as a community, to better their lives and their children's future.
Robert Kennedy
