More quotes by Robert Kennedy
Men without hope, resigned to despair and oppression, do not make revolutions. It is when expectation replaces submission, when despair is touched with the awareness of possibility, that the forces of human desire and the passion for justice are unloosed.
Robert Kennedy
What has violence ever accomplished? What has it ever created? No martyr's cause has ever been stilled by an assassin's bullet...
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
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
Too much and too long, we seem to have surrendered community excellence and community values in the mere accumulation of material things.
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
Too often we honor swagger and bluster and the wielders of force too often we excuse those who are willing to build their own lives on the shattered dreams of others.
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
Every society gets the kind of criminal it deserves.
Robert Kennedy
Tragedy is a tool for the living to gain wisdom, not a guide by which to live.
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
People say I am ruthless. I am not ruthless. And if I find the man who is calling me ruthless, I shall destroy him.
Robert Kennedy
Send forth a tiny ripple of hope.
Robert Kennedy
We know that if one man's rights are denied, the rights of all are endangered.
Robert Kennedy
We can master change not though force or fear, but only though the free work of an understanding mind, though an openness to new knowledge and fresh outlooks, which can only strengthen the most fragile and most powerful of human gifts: the gift of reason.
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
It is from numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is shaped.
Robert Kennedy
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
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 dream of things that are not and ask why not.
