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

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
Progress is a nice word. But change is its motivator. And change has its enemies.
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
Always forgive your enemies, but never forget their names.
Robert Kennedy
What happens to the country, to the world, depends on what we do with what others have left us.
Robert Kennedy
Together, we can make ourselves a nation that spends more on books than on bombs, more on hospitals than the terrible tools of war, more on decent houses than military aircraft.
Robert Kennedy
Every society gets the kind of criminal it deserves.
Robert Kennedy
The future does not belong to those who are content with today Rather, it will belong to those who can blend vision, reason, and courage in a personal commitment.
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
