More quotes by 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
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
Progress is a nice word. But change is its motivator. And change has its enemies.
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
I dream of things that are not and ask why not.
Robert Kennedy
What we need in the United States is not division what we need in the United States is not hatred what we need in the United States is not violence or lawlessness but love and wisdom, and compassion toward one another, and a feeling of justice toward those who still suffer within our country, whether they be white or they be black.
Robert Kennedy
I now know how Tojo felt when he was planning Pearl Harbor.
Robert Kennedy
Some men see what is, and ask 'Why?' I see what might be, and ask 'Why Not?'
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
A life without criticism is not worth living.
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
What happens to the country, to the world, depends on what we do with what others have left us.
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
You're happiest while you're making the greatest contribution.
Robert Kennedy
Every society gets the kind of criminal it deserves.
Robert Kennedy
Now I can go back to being ruthless again.
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
Always forgive your enemies, but never forget their names.
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
Punishment is not prevention. History offers cold comfort to those who think grievance and despair can be subdued by force.
Robert Kennedy
