Don't get mad, get even.
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

I believe that, as long as there is plenty, poverty is evil.
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.

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

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

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.

We know that if one man's rights are denied, the rights of all are endangered.
Robert Kennedy
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Punishment is not prevention. History offers cold comfort to those who think grievance and despair can be subdued by force.
Robert Kennedy
Image
If you never quit, youll never fail.
Robert Kennedy

GDP does not allow for the health of our children, the quality of their education, or the joy of their play
Robert Kennedy

Every society gets the kind of criminal it deserves. What is equally true is that every community gets the kind of law enforcement it insists on.
Robert Kennedy
Image
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.

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...

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