What happens to the country, to the world, depends on what we do with what others have left us.
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

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.

There are those who look at things the way they are, and ask why... I dream of things that never were, and ask why not?
Robert Kennedy
