More quotes by 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 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
Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly.
Robert Kennedy
There are those who look at things the way they are, and ask why... I dream of things that never were, and ask why not?
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
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
Democracy is no easy form of government. Few nations have been able to sustain it. For it requires that we take the chances of freedom that the liberating play of reason be brought to bear on events filled with passion that dissent be allowed to make its appeal for acceptance that men chance error in their search for the truth.
Robert Kennedy
It will help erase the idea that politics is a second-rate profession and a dirty business.
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
I believe that in this generation those with the courage to enter the conflict will find themselves with companions in every corner of the world.
Robert Kennedy
I now know how Tojo felt when he was planning Pearl Harbor.
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
I love this city. If I am elected, I'll move the White House to San Francisco. Everybody's so friendly.
Robert Kennedy
A life without criticism is not worth living.
Robert Kennedy
Our future may lie beyond our vision, but it is not completely beyond our control. It is the shaping impulse of America that neither fate nor nature nor the irresistible tides of history, but the work of our own hands, matched to reason and principle.
Robert Kennedy
We know that if one man's rights are denied, the rights of all are endangered.
Robert Kennedy
I thought they'd get one of us, but Jack, after all he's been through, never worried about it I thought it would be me.
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
You're happiest while you're making the greatest contribution.
Robert Kennedy
I believe that, as long as there is plenty, poverty is evil.
Robert Kennedy
