Send forth a tiny ripple of hope.

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

Tragedy is a tool for the living to gain wisdom, not a guide by which to live.
Robert Kennedy
Image
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.

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
Image
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
Image

Robert Kennedy
Image
Progress is a nice word. But change is its motivator. And change has its enemies.
Robert Kennedy
Image
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 believe that, as long as there is plenty, poverty is evil.
Robert Kennedy
Image
Punishment is not prevention. History offers cold comfort to those who think grievance and despair can be subdued by force.

After all, a bank without assets is hardly a bank at all.
