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?

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
Image
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.

Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Some men see what is, and ask 'Why?' I see what might be, and ask 'Why Not?'

Image
Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly.
Robert Kennedy
Image
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
Image
Whenever men take the law into their own hands, the loser is the law. And when the law loses, freedom languishes.

A life without criticism is not worth living.
