More quotes by Robert Kennedy
Each nation has different obstacles and different goals, shaped by the vagaries of history and of experience. Yet as I talk to young people around the world I am impressed not by the diversity but by the closeness of their goals, their desires and their concerns and their hope for the future.
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
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
Don't get mad, get even.
Robert Kennedy
You knew that what is given or granted can be taken away, that what is begged can be refused but that what is earned is kept.
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 love this city. If I'm elected, I will move the White House to San Francisco. I went to Fisherman's Wharf and they even let me into Allioto`s. It may be Baghdad by the Bay to you, but to me it's Resurrection City
Robert Kennedy
Every society gets the kind of criminal it deserves.
Robert Kennedy
When you teach a man to hate and fear his brother, when you teach that he is a lesser man because of his color or his beliefs or the policies he pursues, when you teach that those who differ from you threaten your freedom or your job or your family, then you also learn to confront others not as fellow citizens but as enemies...
Robert Kennedy
You're happiest while you're making the greatest contribution.
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
Our future may lie beyond our vision, but it is not completely beyond our control. It is the shaping impulse of America that neither fate nor nature nor the irresistible tides of history, but the work of our own hands, matched to reason and principle.
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
Send forth a tiny ripple of hope.
