November 20th marks the birth date of Robert F. Kennedy and
I thought it would be a fitting tribute to celebrate with
11 Robert Kennedy quotes. No matter which side of the
political fence you reside on, you have to admit the
Kennedy family is an intriguing bunch. Robert F. was no
exception to that kind of fascination. Here are 11 quotes
to help commemorate the day of his birth.
1. "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."
2. "I was the seventh of nine children. When you come from
that far down you have to struggle to survive."
3. "Ultimately, America's answer to the intolerant man is
diversity, the very diversity which our heritage of
religious freedom has inspired."
4. "All of us, from the wealthiest and most powerful of
men, to the weakest and hungriest of children, share one
precious possession: the name American."
5. "On this generation of Americans falls the burden of
proving to the world that we really mean it when we say all
men are created free and are equal before the law. All of
us might wish at times that we lived in a more tranquil
world, but we don't. And if our times are difficult and
perplexing, so are they challenging and filled with
opportunity."
6. "One-fifth of the people are against everything all the
time."
7. "Moral courage is a more rare commodity than bravery in
battle or great intelligence."
8. "The greatest truth must be recognition that in every
man, in every child is the potential for greatness."
9. "It is from numberless diverse acts of courage and
belief that human history is shaped. Each time a man stands
up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or
strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple
of hope."
10. "I believe that, as long as there is plenty, poverty is
evil."
11. "It is not enough to understand, or to see clearly. The
future will be shaped in the arena of human activity, by
those willing to commit their minds and their bodies to the
task."
Robert F. Kennedy was quite the revolutionary thinker.
Sure, there were some who opposed his views, but many more
embraced them. Let's commemorate his birthday this year
with the above 11 Robert Kennedy quotes.
