More quotes by Robert Kennedy
I believe that, as long as there is plenty, poverty is evil.
Robert Kennedy
The intolerant man will not rely on persuasion, or on the worth of the idea. He would deny to others the very freedom of opinion or of dissent which he so stridently demands for himself. He cannot trust democracy.
Robert Kennedy
This much is clear: violence breeds violence, repression brings retaliation, and only a cleansing of our whole society can remove this sickness from our soul.
Robert Kennedy
Always forgive your enemies, but never forget their names.
Robert Kennedy
Send forth a tiny ripple of hope.
Robert Kennedy
If freedom makes social progress possible, so social progress strengthens and enlarges freedom. The two are inseparable partners in the great adventure of humanity.
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
Some men see what is, and ask 'Why?' I see what might be, and ask 'Why Not?'
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
Don't get mad, get even.
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
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
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
[The overthrow of the Castro regime] is the top priority of the US government. - all else is secondary - no time, no effort, or manpower is to be spared.
Robert Kennedy
You knew that what is given or granted can be taken away, that what is begged can be refused but that what is earned is kept.
Robert Kennedy
One-fifth of the people are against everything all the time.
Robert Kennedy
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
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
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
Now I can go back to being ruthless again.
Robert Kennedy
