More quotes by 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
Always forgive your enemies, but never forget their names.
Robert Kennedy
All great questions must be raised by great voices, and the greatest voice is the voice of the people - speaking out - in prose, or painting or poetry or music speaking out - in homes and halls, streets and farms, courts and cafes - let that voice speak and the stillness you hear will be the gratitude of mankind.
Robert Kennedy
GDP does not allow for the health of our children, the quality of their education, or the joy of their play
Robert Kennedy
Now I can go back to being ruthless again.
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
Whenever men take the law into their own hands, the loser is the law. And when the law loses, freedom languishes.
Robert Kennedy
Every society gets the kind of criminal it deserves. What is equally true is that every community gets the kind of law enforcement it insists on.
Robert Kennedy
It is immoral to see evil and not act on it.
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
Few men are willing to brave the disapproval of their fellows, the censure of their colleagues, the wrath of their society. Moral courage is a rarer commodity than bravery in battle or great intelligence. Yet it is the one essential, vital quality for those who seek to change the world which yields most painfully to change.
Robert Kennedy
I am not one of those who think that coming in second or third is winning.
Robert Kennedy
Nations around the world look to us for the leadership not merely by strength of arms but by strength of our convictions.
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
The future is not a gift: it is an achievement. Every generation helps make its own future. This is the essential challenge of the present
Robert Kennedy
What happens to the country, to the world, depends on what we do with what others have left us.
Robert Kennedy
Send forth a tiny ripple of hope.
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
He tells so many lies that he convinces himself after a while that he's telling the truth. He just doesn't recognize truth or falsehood.
Robert Kennedy
It is not enough to understand, or to see clearly. The future will be shaped in the arena of human activity, by those willing to commit their minds and their bodies to the task.
Robert Kennedy
