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

More quotes by 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
The gross national product includes air pollution and advertising for cigarettes, and ambulances to clear our highways of carnage. It counts special locks for our doors, and jails for the people who break them ... It does not allow for the health of our families, the quality of thier education, or the joy of their play.
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
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
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
It will help erase the idea that politics is a second-rate profession and a dirty business.
Robert Kennedy
I dream of things that are not and ask why not.
Robert Kennedy
Goethe tells us in his greatest poem that Faust lost the liberty of his soul when he said to the passing moment, 'Stay, thou art so fair.
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
Progress is a nice word. But change is its motivator. And change has its enemies.
Robert Kennedy
Tragedy is a tool for the living to gain wisdom, not a guide by which to live.
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.
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
Nations around the world look to us for the leadership not merely by strength of arms but by strength of our convictions.
Robert Kennedy
Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly.
Robert Kennedy
A life without criticism is not worth living.
Robert Kennedy
When you teach a man to hate and fear his brother, when you teach that he is a lesser man because of his color or his beliefs or the policies he pursues, when you teach that those who differ from you threaten your freedom or your job or your family, then you also learn to confront others not as fellow citizens but as enemies...
Robert Kennedy
What happens to the country, to the world, depends on what we do with what others have left us.
Robert Kennedy
Let us dedicate ourselves to what the Greeks wrote so many years ago: to tame the savageness of man and make gentle the life of this world.
Robert Kennedy
Send forth a tiny ripple of hope.
Robert Kennedy
